How Flash and Shutter Speed Work Together (2019) - Lesson 10 of 10

[@warzonehackersexposed]

You are the first person that explains shutter speed and flash easily

[@BradScott-ys6ot]

HAHAH dude… im watchin a full tutorial on the Canon ti2 and the guy started describing why flash and a fast shutter is dumb, and bro… i could NOT understand what that guy was fking talking about😡🤯😭 This helped a bit… but i still have questions. Like, as a beginner, i guess i assumed flash is lit for entire length of shutter speed. I suppose i never thiught about a 6sec. long shutter AND a flash… but i suppose id have expected the flash stays lit for 6sec. idk🤷‍♀️ Guess not

This was Great stuff, so easy to follow along. I've also watched the lessons on aperture and have learned so much from watching! Thanks so much!!

[@tekinalpturk571]

Thank you for great video. It was a wonderful explanation.

[@foldby37]

i like the way you explain stuff, eaven i can get it, and make it to use,,, thanks...

[@sutv6754]

Excellent. Got the answers I needed plus.

[@SusanneGeert]

Such a great video (and your whole series) 😊QUESTION: The example where you show that s

[@MissEdvic]

At what speed was the last photo shot ? How to break the limit of 1/250th into higher speed above 1/250th . I cannot seem to figure out how to set it up, and cannot find anything on you tube . Please , someone , help . Nikon d750 .

[@joeyg609]

Good stuff brotha!! Hope you and the fam are doing well!

[@ShnappleMedia]

Incredibly helpful! Thank you

[@michaeldwilson1471]

Thanks!

You began to explain what is important for me to know - then you went off on special effects. How does one determine which shutter speed to use when using flash, since flash will override the ambient light in brilliance, and blur is not an issue when using flash -so how do we determine which shutter speed to use - do we select a shutter speed to produce a proper exposure, a la the exposure triangle, disregarding the flash but setting the aperture as desired, and the ISO (which I'd leave to "automatic")? Hopfully, you're still alive and well to answer this - I see that you've responded to no comments since you published this video.

Hi! Please email my team at [e-mail] with your question. They can help get you answers. They can also get you a link to sign up for one of my free webinars, if you're interested. 😁

thanks man !!

[@smb4658]

Not clear what mode camera was in for these photos.

*good job*

[@jacovanlith5082]

There are two types of shutters whch can synch at 1/500 sec' the leafshutter and the rotary shutter.

[@idfferent.design]

Hi David, do you know why my camera doesn't allow me to increase my shuttle speed when I attached my flash light? For example I can adjust my shuttle speed up to 1/4000 without the flash but the moment I turn on my godox flash, my camera only allow me to shoot 1/160 max and no further. Thanks 😊

[@davidmolnarphoto]

When you attach a flash, your camera limits the shutter speed to around 1/160s to 1/250s due to flash sync speed. This is the fastest speed that allows the flash to fully illuminate the image. If you want to use faster shutter speeds, check if your flash supports High-Speed Sync (HSS), which lets you shoot at higher speeds without cutting off the flash exposure.

[@Oztubee]

When shooting with flash: If you shoot at f/8 or f/10, would you keep the ISO at 100 and lower the shutter speed? I think that will cause motion blur if the subject moves a little, so would you increase the ISO instead? How would you set your shutter speed in this case? Will that depend on the “high-speed sync” shutter speed of the flash? For example, if HSS syncs at shutter speeds from 1/400 to 1/8,000 seconds, can I go higher than 1/400, like 1/10?

[@davidmolnarphoto]

When shooting with flash at f/8 or f/10, keep the ISO at 100 and set the shutter speed to around 1/200 seconds to start. If you're worried about motion blur, enable High-Speed Sync (HSS) and increase the shutter speed to 1/400 or higher. Only raise the ISO if necessary to avoid underexposure.

[@Oztubee]

@@davidmolnarphoto will shooting at 1/20 seconds at iso 500, at f/8 and adjusting the flash power to my liking on the subject, can that cause motion blur? Photographing a group of people outdoors under shades

[@davidmolnarphoto]

Yes, shooting at 1/20 seconds can cause motion blur, especially when photographing a group of people, even under shade. 1/20 seconds is quite a slow shutter speed, and any movement from your subjects or camera shake can result in blurry images. To avoid motion blur, consider the following adjustments: Increase Shutter Speed: Try to use at least 1/60 seconds or faster. Adjust ISO: Increase the ISO to 800 or 1600 to compensate for the faster shutter speed. Wider Aperture: If possible, use a wider aperture (lower f-number) to let in more light. Use a Tripod: To stabilize the camera and reduce the risk of blur from camera shake. Flash Power: Ensure the flash is adequately powerful to freeze the motion, as the flash duration can effectively act as your shutter speed for the illuminated subject. By balancing these settings, you can achieve a sharp image without motion blur.

@@davidmolnarphoto THANK YOU

[@keithrepton2937]

Take the picture in portrait you can get away with a faster shutter speed the black bar appears on one side and crop.

[@ikkangoochelen]

Hey thnx for the video a question. If you go 1/50th the pic will be blurry if you shoot without a tripod. Is it true? Thnx!

[@yeshuaalbarico7152]

Is it applicable in the canon r8 without mechanical shutter?

[@drisssadok]

Thank you for the serie, but some CONFUSION here, on the last picture you said that you increase the shutter speed to the fastest while you can't shoot at more than 1/200 with the flash on (max hss) ??? what are the exact numbers u did please?

[@colinbrown7305]

Brilliant

[@just1smothie]

Is there a way to change shutter speed, like 1/500 sec while using a flash? I have a 70 and 90D but they both lock at 250/s while using a flash, metz 52-AF1

[@davidmolnarphoto]

250 is all it will do with a flash

[@just1smothie]

@@davidmolnarphoto thank you very much. I was wishing I could bring it up to 1/500 min. Shooting insects in the wild is almost impossible with no tripod and a breeze.

[@davidmolnarphoto]

I have a fantastic macro photography course coming soon. We've discussed some macro photos in my Facebook groups some. Might be some great info.

[@smb4658]

6 second exposure required guys to be still so long! Don’t see any blur👍🏽

[@veronicamccoy8936]

how did you focus in a pitch black room?

[@aperture_v2]

... LMAO

[@BradScott-ys6ot]

as a beginner I guess i assumed flashes had functionality to light subject for entire duration of shutter speed.
