    +Litegenius Thank you very much, this was very helpful and something I was
    trying to figure out. I appreciate your help and these settings work
    extremely well.

    Wonderful video.Extremely ,extremely helpful for a beginner like me. Always
    used to wonder which exposure mode to select for flash photography. You
    made my life simpler.I also benefited from your other video-‘perfect flash
    exposure 95% of the time’ I am grateful to you. Keep going sir. Finally I
    love your voice.

    These settings don’t work on my Olympus mirrorless camera because the
    electronic viewfinder image will be very dark when shooting indoors with
    these settings. The end result picture works but you can’t see the live
    image through the EVF. Any suggestions?

    I just did my photoshoot with some dancers and then the afterparty. I used
    these recommendations and it works amazingly well. I’ve been fighting with
    this for a long time, and this did great – probably 80 – 90% of the time!
    Some tweaks in software at times, (and if I wasn’t hurried, I would have
    done some +,- with the flash output), but I am so happy I found this
    video! Thank you Litegenius!

    Really good video if you got I-TTL flash. I have got a low cost manual only
    mode flash. Can you please make a video on how to use manual flash mode?
    How do you decide flash power based on histogram ?

    Bob, every now and then, whilst hunting through various and many degrees of
    competency of video filming, explanation and ‘going straight to the point’
    – do you find an absolute gem of a teacher ( Gavin Hoey, Bryan Peterson to
    name a couple of my favourites ) – you Sir, are in my top 3! Of course I
    have subscribed and I will tell anyone who’ll listen about your channel.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have watched loads and loads of videos
    of this scary subject “Flash Photography” and then you come along and Bam!
    Suddenly I get it – and the funny thing is, I understand more from you in
    less than 10 minutes than I have from watching a 1 and a half hour video
    from someone else. Thanks again from Paul in Surrey, England.
