Create Your Desired Flash Lighting Effect Step By Step Tutorial BTS Studio Shoot.

How are you using a Neewer flash trigger on a Panasonic S5?

[@photechvideo]

Good question @veryberry. I am using the Neewer Q Pro Nikon version and it triggers my Q3 flashes perfectly as long as I don't go try to go into High Speed Sync. By the way, the Nikon version of the Neewer Q Pro also triggers the same flashes when used on my Sony ZV E10 as long as I don't try to go into High Speed Sync.

Would flashes with modeling lights reduce the need to fiddle with the flash positioning after every shot?

Hi again @verberry. Thanks you so much for your comments and for interacting.The answer to your question is yes and the Neewer Q3 flashes do have a modelling light, albeit a bit dim. I wanted to demonstrate in the video how any type of flash, including those without modelling lamps can be moved and adjusted to obtain the desired lighting effect. Most of all, I want people to lose the fear of moving their lights, camera and subject as the more you experiment, the more confident you feel at controlling the light in your images.

Interesting to me: in the recording from the camera finder the catchlights are much more pronouced than in the photographs. These catchlights are due the video lights, aren't they?

@@andreasstolten9179 Many thanks for your comments. Yes, exactly. Remember that the video camera exposure is set to see the whole of the scene and therefore the back of the camera may reflect the video lights but the sills camera exposure is set to allow zero light into the image when flash is turned off so the catch lights in the still images are those which come only from the softboxes with the flashes in them. Take care and be safe. Andy
