How to use Flash Tutorial

This video teaches you the basics about how to use the flash and its external controls (tilt / pan for bounce) and internal controls (flash modes) with a lot of demonstration animations. It was written in plain english to help people understand what a flash have to offer. Yes, you still need to read the user's manual for detailed instructions and references. Enjoy!

Note: Sorry for the errors in the video about panning, 22.5º is actually 45º, 45º is actually 90º, and 90º is actually 180º. No, the SB-900 as shown in this video cannot do a full 360º pan around. We cut the video to save time.

When you're doing a 45 degree pan, you are actually spinning the flash-head 90 degrees... just thought you should know :) joking i read the description!

Oh, good, we was about to yell at you.

When you say you're doing a 45 degree pan, you are spinning the flash-head 90 degrees (1/4 of a full circle). Just to let you know...

Nice vid, though! (=

Fantastic video. Introduced me to the flash in a very easy to understand fashion. Looking forward to picking up my new speed-light. Thanks!

Hey, thanks a million for the great tutorial. I learned a lot from your simple yet terrific instructions. Will approach my flash photography with added interest/knowledge in the future.
