Superb. I'm looking to create flash with ambient light for a more dramatic and artistic image. Brilliant. Really helpful. Thanks Mark 😊

Well explained however, IMO a brief description of how the shutter works might help newcomers who are unfamiliar with the curtain concept and for my part, why doesn't the speedlite use trailing curtain by default if it's so frequently employed at lower shutter speeds?

Thanks for the feedback, the second curtain synch by default is out of our control unfortunately

This is very confusing

I don't understand why creators make tutorials but fail to respond to comments, good or bad, from folks who have taken the time to see the video. I suppose that they are not interested in 'ratings', nor really helping their viewers - so why bother???????????????????

Sorry, did you ask a question we have missed?
