Thanks for a great video! However…

Shutter speed doesn’t affect amount of light from the flash because flash happens very rapidly. The only way to affect flash exposure is by changing the aperture. When you were slowing down the shutter, the light meter was reducing your aperture, which resulted in more ambient and less flash.

So the end result is exactly as described, only difference is that technically flash exposure was affected by smaller aperture

Please correct me if i’m wrong.

This is a problem with the shutter speed of the video camera. Usually the flash fires between frames so it doesn’t show up in the video. But the flash is actually firing.

great videos, but why is it that in most of your videos when you fire a flash, you don’t usually see it on the video?

Considering ISO is an acronym, Eye Ess Oh is probably right; but does it really matter? We know what it means however it’s said.

Talk to me after you earn your degree in photography…..I don’t believe in using the word pro like you do either. I bet you also think your a ‘pro’ because you shoot with a D3….get over yourself
