Strobe flash lights are used in studio still photography. Unlike a built-in flash, these devices must be connected to the camera either through cable or wirelessly. The camera tells the flash when to fire through this connection. At the moment the shutter is pressed, the flash will fire. Under the right conditions, strobe flash lights provide a brighter effect than built-in flashes do. Depending on the camera being used, the connection can be as simple as a matter of connecting devices.
Instructions
1. Check your camera to see if it has an external flash mounting socket. If so, connect an external strobe to this socket via wire. Depending on the model of camera and strobe, an adapter may be necessary, but you can still make the connection.
2. Check to see if your camera has a PC terminal. If it does, connect the strobe or flash via synced cable.
3. Configure a wireless remote flash. Attach a master flash unit to the mounting socket of the camera. Configure it to tell the other external strobe and flash units when to fire. Using a wireless transmitter in the same mounting socket will have the same effect.
