  1. Pretty sure some Yongnuo flashes eg 565ex do TTL possibly not as a master. I bought an Oloong 690 II which works well as a TTL / Nikon CLS slave on my D7000 which is capable of commanding with its built in flash. Some low end SLRs with built in flash leave out the commander capability. Some of the 3rd party flashes respond to both Nikon and Canon TTL instructions in 1 unit too. They may not do high speed sync yet though.

  2. no. flash knows, it is tilted. pre-flash comes, camera meters, flash adjusts itsself. exact same thing as with a direct flash 😉

  3. Does that mean Ettl would be incorrect for bouncing off the celling in terms of zoom range and power ?

    Karl you mentioned Slave mode of the flash. Does it mean all (even cheaper) speedlight with active slave mode will be triggered by camera build in flash (or other)?

    the youngnuo flashes are great if all you want is a powerful flash gun with a sync port option. They don’t have TTL but they are very powerful and cheap yet still well built.

    Really an excellent explanation about settings and features flash, thank you Karl

  23. This is how is done! 🙂 Thanks for such a great explanation!

  24. I’ve seen (so called pro) photogs bouncing flashes outdoors. It’s funny. Also, you can make a really good bounce card with craft foam. One that would shoot the light forward. That is much more efficient then firing it in all directions.

  25. Good tips, Karl!
    Thanks for sharing you knowledge
