Now I have a question about the camera flip brackets. If you keep the flash above the lens and not flip it, then how does it cover the scene when flipping the camera verticle? The flash head is manufactured in horizontal by design and if you keep it horizontal but flip the camera verticle, how do you get the flash to cover the entire scene without any vigenetting on the top and bottom of the image. I tried a camera flip and there were dark areas at the top and bottom of the scene because the flash covered horizontal more than verticle since it stayed in the horizontal position.

Depends on the focal length and working distance. You can either pull down the WA panel if the "vignetting" is really severe, set a manual zoom on the flash, or simply disable crop factor compensation, assuming you use a crop camera. If you drag the shutter to bring in more ambient it shouldn't be much of a problem anyway.

Having said that, I don't use direct flash indoors. It pretty much looks like crap.


Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here (external link). Cursing at your worse-than-a-map reflector? Check out this vid! (external link)
