 Rating:  - Sunpak DS-20This is an inexpensive little slave flash that actually works. I have a Canon A570 and, like most small digicams, it has a fairly weak builtin flash. It couldn't illuminate properly more than 10 feet away and I also didn't like the glare on faces from below 7 or 8 feet. This is typical with direct builtin flash. When using this flash, I generally turn off the camera redeye preflash and set the camera to the manual Aperture setting with the aperture set to f4.5. I also set the flash control on the ...

It worked in "Auto" mode right off the bat with my camera. But I had to calibrate the fstop setting. My camera defaults to fstop of 4.0 automatically, but it can be manually changed.

Rating:  - Seemed to be working..........but not with my cameraI bought this to use only as a slave flash for my Canon 620 digital camera (which has no hot shoe). The slave flash did fire when the camera flashed, but the camera would not pick up any of the slave's light. Apparently the slave was not in sync with my camera and its internal flash. I adjusted the camera settings for every possible shutter-curtain / synchro / flash output / red-eye combination, but had no luck. I finally got some results by switching out of the camera's automatic / program modes ... Read More Rating: - Great Little FlashI bought this flash primarilary for the auto-slave feature to use in conjunction with my digital camera. The flash is completely adjustable from the tilt to timing, allowing you to put the light where it's needed for the right shot. I would highly recommend this flash for the "every-day" photographer. |
