Hi everyone.
I just got myself an INON Z240 instead of the S2000 after considering the need of future upgrade when I shoot wide angle.
I've been playing with the strobe in my room and here's what I found.
Camera on manual exposure with the following settings.
•Shutter = 1/250s
•Aperture = f14
•Iso = 100
S-TTL Mode (Magnet switch depressed)
-Right Dial at position 9 o'clock brightest. but by very little compared to position 12 0'clock(B) which only noticeable on the histogram.
-After rotating Clockwise pass 12oc, the under expose seems more obvious after each 3 clicks.
-Darkest at position 8 oc.
Manual Mode (Magnet switch depressed + camera flash set to manual 1/64)
-Similar result throughout the Right dial rotation
Manual Mode (Magnet switch pressed + camera flash set to manual 1/64)
-Right Dial at 9 oc position, slightly underexposed(darkest)
-Becoming brighter as I turn the dial clockwise and becoming more and more overexposed.
-Brightest at position 8 oc.
Manual Mode(Magnet switch pressed + Camera flash set to fill in)
-Right dial at 9 oc position, it's slightly underexposed(darkest)
-Become brighter as I turn the dial clockwise. I didn't realize as much overexposed as the M mode + 1/64 Flash + magnet pressed)
- position 7 and 8 is complete darkness. I think the strobe firing and the shutter actuation did not match.
Manual mode (Magnet switch depressed + camera flash set to fill in)
-Right dial position set to 9 oc position. Image is underexposed.
-Becoming brighter as I turn the dial clockwise and becoming more and more overexposed.
-Brightest at position 8 oc
Can anyone explain to me how the INON strobes should be operated in S-TTL mode and Manual mode??
I found the dial label is kind of confusing and the operating mannual further confuses me.
*BTW, Having the Camera flash compensation set to -2 in fill in and strobe dial set to +2 S-TTL didn't work.
