I have a shoot tomorrow and need to be able to use some fill flash . Normally I would just drop the 580EX on my Canon 5D and use it like a point and shoot..just dial in the flash reduction and go (since its outside shooting). But..the daughter nailed my 5D as I wasn t using it..so I am trying to work with my R9/DMR. I realize that the flash and the DMR speak different languages..and all the DMR can do is fire the flash. It doesn t appear that the Canon flash has an auto mode thats not TTL ..which would be perfect . So I am back to manual and its been a long time . The exact situation is for a local horse racing team that needs a few shots for their website. They need a small group shot (6 people) and individual informal head shots of each team member. Nothing fancy . I was hoping to set the flash to provide a -1 1/3 fill and use the DMR on manual. Try a few and adjust as needed. Everything else I can shoot with the M8s without flash. I also typicaly use a Lightsphere to soften the flash . Any help would be appreciated.
