8. Brugertips
- Bounce Flash for Softer Light: Utilize the flash head's flexible tilt and rotation capabilities (-7° to 120° vertically, 0° to 330° horizontally) to bounce light off ceilings or walls. This creates a larger, softer light source, reducing harsh shadows and producing more natural-looking results.
- Experiment with Manual Power: While TTL is convenient, practicing with manual power settings (1/1 to 1/128) can give you precise control over your lighting, especially in consistent studio environments.
- Utilize Wireless Functionality: For more dynamic lighting, take the flash off-camera and trigger it wirelessly using another Godox X system transmitter. This allows for creative lighting angles and effects.
- Hold firmware opdateret: Regularly check the Godox website for the latest firmware updates. Updates can improve compatibility, add new features, and fix bugs, ensuring your flash performs optimally.
- Consider an External Power Pack: If you frequently shoot events or need very fast recycle times, investing in an external power pack like the Godox PB960 can significantly enhance your workflow.
