The flash illumination coverage of MG8000 responds to the lens focal length of
24mm to 105mm (full size format / film camera standard).
With the latest TTL flash control system, the flash power level is always
automatically controlled by the camera for the most appropriate exposure. You
can soften or weaken the flash light, or give more light to the subject without
changing the environmental or background exposure effect. The MG8000 can
possibly make it quicker control the flash output for each individual picture.
The modes to be set on camera:
An ADVANCED CUSTOM SETTING enables you to enjoy creative flash
photography.
For advanced flash photography, the following five functions can be set on your
flash.
MG8000 provides an extra small flash below the main flash. This small flash
gives a fill-in light while bouncing the main flash. Bouncing the light may
shadow the underside of face, and this fill-in flash brightens up the shadow.
Set the camera’s mode, select the focal length and take pictures with
MG8000 on your camera.
MG8000 is a supplement to help you taking a creative and live picture.
