The zoom function of your flash with the flash settings can change the way you use your flash. It's so important to know how to use the zoom function in order to get the best out of your flash.
You will love your speedlight zoom function after this video.
You need to know how to use light with your flash. Check out this video NEXT ruclips.net/video/ctV6DsdsXDA/видео.html
Hello - great video ... For some reason, you didn't comment on putting the zoom feature on auto ??? When would you put the flash zoom on auto ??
Hi. Glad you like the video. I never use the auto zoom. I love being in control of my flash and the settings. I Highly recommend this 😊
I mean can you not show the stills for a few secs more ?!?😂
Sorry. Recently trimmed the video and did to much. Luckily you can pause 😉
Great video. For me, the picture at 2:40 covers the entire video. lol
Thank you. Glad you liked it. Some people like a bit more explanation ;-)
Thank you, I'm an engineer, and I know zero about photography. Bought a flash for my t3i and going to the Amazon rainforest with my son and a macro lens in 10 days. wish me luck.
This is very good advice for people starting out with speedlights! Good video Kobus! Keep it up!
Thank you my friend!
Some people joke about not being good at drawing but you were dead serious lol. It got the point across though and that was very helpful, thanks for the tip!
Hahahhahahahha. Happy that you liked it.
ahahah dead azz I noticed that setting since day one, but hadn't a clue how to properly use this function!
I shoot a fair bit of night life/club photography, and always with an on camera speed light. This is solid advice that i will absolutely be applying. BIG UPs!
2 questions..
1) These tips generally apply only when the speed lite is pointing straight up directly at the ceiling?
2) The height of the ceiling, coupled with the Zoom mm setting, directly affects the final image?
Thanks Kobus!
Glad you enjoyed the video and that it helped you.
1) I point my flash slightly backwards rather than straight up. Straight up means straight down which ends up being "12o clock" sunlight quality of light if that makes sense.
2) Yes it does but it's not that much. It helps however to contain the light and also save battery power. You also have more control.
Hope it helps ;-)
@@KobusTollig1 You da man! much appreciated!
were you ever told you resemble jack nicholson? nice tutorial though ;)
Hahaha no but I’ll take it. Hehe.
Awesome Explanation, Sir! This cannot be simpler than this. Thanks.
Thank you so much.
Hi Kobus, thank you SO much for making this video. I was looking to find out about the zoom function in TTL...and this explanation is perfect. I am now wondering what to do when there is no wall, or a black wall. also I bought a magsphere and I bet that changes things a lot as well. I'll check it out and try different settings for myself. But now at least I know more about what the zoom setting actually does.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad that I could be helpful. I'm going to make more Flash videos soon so make sure to keep an eye open.
Finally a South African explanation. Thanks Kobus!
Happy to help!

Totally forgot about this function on my flash. Should probably dust off my ol' 580EX and play around with it again. Lekker video Kobus!
Thank you sir. Appreciate the kind words. Let the flash run.

Nice video. What flash zoom should i use when use softbox? Wide or narrow?
Thank you. Depends on the size of the softbox but 35mm zoom on the flash should work for
Most.

So informative, thank you
Linda Smith glad it helped. Thanks.
I searched for “The Flash vs Zoom fight scene from CW show”.
thank you for explaning the mm when there is a bounce off the ceiling. However, wouldn't you get softer light when shooting 24 mm as the light is more spread out vs 100mm and above where it would be direct?
My pleasure and happy that it helps.
Remember when using the a wall or ceiling to bounce light, the ceiling or wall becomes the light source. Not the flash. And because of the size of the light source the light is soft.
When using direct flash the light source is the flash. The flash head is small and therefore no matter what the zoom the light will remain hard. Hope it makes sense.
cool
Thank you!
dank je wel Kobus!
My pleasure.
Great video, thank you so much for the straightforward explanation!
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it. Check out my new flash video from yesterday 😉

Great work here mate! nice and simple, straight to the point and very informative!
Thank you for the kind words!
Good content, do the zoom effects the different uses of lenses or it’s just a function?
It’s a flash function that has to do with the spread width of the light.
