Godox TT685S Problem With Zoom

[@Razor2048]

Old video (randomly stumbled across). If using the flash straight on (only time the zoom is used and leads to flat unflattering images), it is best not to match the focal length in the zoom. The more you zoom, the more the structure of the reflector and fresnel lens becomes visible in light, thus it becomes more uneven. furthermore, it can look really bad indoors where you will get a narrow light falloff behind the subject. In most situations, a GN60 flash will have enough output power light the subject without zooming in, and the less zoom you can get away with on the flash head, the better the lighting will be, though at the cost of reduced battery life since it will use a higher output power to light the subject. Outside of that, if indoors, you should be trying to bounce the flash whenever possible, as that will give softer and more flattering light. If outside where the light cannot be bounced, then it is best to use a larger diffuser if possible, or if not, then a direct flash at the widest setting, as a tiny point light source will typically get the deer in the headlights type look.

This isn't a fix but I've found the same issue while using some older Nikon (Nikkor) lenses and even some newer DX lenses. When using some older lenses the zoom will change. It also worked with my 14-24, I think. Frustrating, but at least we might begin to figure out when to expect it to work and when it won't.

Your video quality is very poor, can't see any details on either the camera or the flash screen.

Yep. My bad
