Hi folks, I hope all is well.
I have been learning and playing around in manual mode and adjusting the settings to ensure the image taken is black and blocks out the ambient light. Then I can use lights / flash to suit.
Now, I have done some flower images with the macro lens and added constant light - no issues. I then put the flash trigger on, switched it to manual, held the flash in my hand so I could change the direction and such....but now the live preview mode isn't black...it's just like the normal screen. When I dethatch the flash trigger it goes black again (which it should).
Why is this happening, any ideas? Obviously new to me and I have no idea why attaching the flash alters the image I see on the back of the screen when it is in live preview. Is it previewing what the image will look like by reading the flash output power or something?
I am confused.
