sb600 fill-in flash

zenman49 · 17th February 2008

recently been to sentosa flower, some of my flash shoots turned out rather unpleasant. i use the flash as fill-in, but it seems to over-exposed the faces. doesn't the sb-600 balanced fill-in feature useable in s3 pro? or is it becos of the f2 mode i used?

fujifilm s3 pro
nikon 18-135mm
nikon sb-600
white balance auto
iso 200
1/90
f3.2
f2 mode

I think it could be a problem due to white balance.

Did you use any diffuser or was it direct flash?

Use diffuser for direct fill flash or use DIY bouncer to spread light evenly on the subject.

i use bounch flash with diffuser with auto white balance. i noticed the same problem recently when i took indoor shoots with the same setup.

it seems like you bounced too much flash.
make your bounce card smaller?
