If you take a picture in total darkness and rely only on the flash, you won't see any difference, the flash exposure is affected only by the aperture. The shutter speed will affect things like subject movement and exposure for the background lighting. - -----Original Message----- From: Albert Wang [mailto:leica_phile@hotmail.com] Sent: 12 March 2002 17:30 To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] How can I use a non-TTL flash on shutter speeds less than the flash sync speed? Hi everyone, A minor question: which settings for the aperture should I use on a M3 if I want to shoot at shutter speeds less than the 1/50 flash sync speed. For example, using ASA 400 speed film and the subject is 6 feet, the flash guide suggests f16 at the regular flash sync of 1/50. What should I do if I want to use flash at 1/4 sec. speed? Or 1 sec. speed? Thanks for your input.
