Hi everbody, well I just borrowed some light equipment, Novatron 600VR, from a friend and when I set up the umbrellas and shoot in Manual. For some reason the bottom half of my picture turns pitch black while the top half is normal. Can anybody help me? I'm still a noob with this stuff and I'm just trying to learn. Thanks!

You're using a shutter speed that's faster than sync. Use 1/200th or slower.


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)
