Counting with powers different popup flash (T3i)

When I use the flash pop-up Av, it fires a pre-flash of measure used to calculate the shutter speed. I can then use flash exposure compensation to change the brightness of the flash. I guess counting is always performed with 0 EV even when flash exposure compensation is set to a nonzero value, since it calculates the shutter speed is the same, no matter what I have flash value exposure compensation. Is there a way so he can tell me shutter speed suitable for a selected flash power?

In the case of M, I don't understand why "flash exposure compensation" is always an option. The idea is to compensate a misinterpretation of the settings he chooses for what you want to do with the shot. But in M, there is nothing that she chooses. Shouldn't this just be called "flash power" at this stage. (In fact, it's the same thing for 'exposure as compenstation' too - why would you ever use it in M?). Again, is it possible to get the meter to tell me what the exhibition with my flash power selected will look like?

Thank you

It is a common area of confusion.  The camera behaves actually ideal, but if you haven't been shooting flash years you can't guess why he does.

When you meter with flash, the device ignores especially flash.  The meter performs the measurement of available light only.

When using E - TTL (really E - TTL II), the computer in the camera calulates the amount of energy needed to properly illuminate the subject based on your parameters of exposure... but without taking into account the shutter speed (so he only cares about the ISO and the opening...) Eh_bien, please make sure that the shutter speed is between "synchro-flash" unless the flash has sync high speed enabled.)

This is because the available light is more or less 'continuous', the flash is a temporary source of light.  The camera needs to use a shutter speed, or less speed 'synchro-flash' of the camera (which varies depending on the camera and is usually of the order of 1/160th to 1/250th sec).  The max speed 'synchro-flash' is based on the amount of time necessary for focal plane shutter mechanical to slide fully open, leave the flash fires, and then slide off completely.  The need to operate in this way is based on the design of focal plane shutter.  The shutter using two doors or "curtains."  Slides opening... the other follows later and closed blades.  If there was only a "curtain" then pixel near one edge of the probe (where it begins to open) would technically get more light then the opposite edge of the sensor... because the "curtain" should be reversed.  Using two "curtains" and having them both in the same direction, all pixels travel technically are exposed during the same period.

The amount of time that the flash light is usually extremely brief.  It varies depending on the flash model and also the level of power - but it could be as short as 1/4000e sec... but regardless of how brief it lasts, it can pull until the shutter is fully open or part of the probe will he is blocked from light.

Ultimately, this means that if you use an extra filling long exposure (for example assume that you set the exposure for a 1 second), the flash fires... (say it lasts 1/1000th sec) - but leaving the shutter open longer will not increase the amount of light received by the flash, because the flash is now gone dark.

This extra time long exposure will improve the ability of the camera to collect more ambient light, even if it will not collect more light on the flash.  When using the flash, you start thinking about each shot as two different exposures... exposure to 'available' light and exposure for the 'flash '.  Changing aperture or ISO settings affect both all too... but change the shutter speed only affects the part of the 'light' of the exhibition because the flash is a temporary light source.

Suppose you are in a room with low light... you take a picture with flash.  If the camera exposes ONLY for flash, so your subject is turned on, but the rest of the room seems to be almost black and the shooting doesn't look very good.   But if you leave the door open more then the camera can collect more of the available light and lighting will be better - you have some balance and depth to the picture because you will be able to see the bottom.  This technique to leave the shutter open longer is called "dragging the shutter" and this is the best flash photography.

It is one of the main reasons why you want your camera to the counter for the available light even when using flash.

The other reason is for photos during the day.  I use flash to shoot outside during the day (it's actually one of the best times to use a pop up flash).  This is referred to as "fill flash".  The idea is that the Sun is lighting your subject, but the flash fills in some of the deep shadows, so they don't look so tough.  You don't want the flash to try to compete with the Sun.  If you set the flash exposure compesnation-1 and take the picture.    You're doing similar things if the subject is in the shade, but the background is Sun - to balance between the subject and background lighting.

  • T3i sync high speed with popup flash?

    When shooting outdoors with a light background, it would be nice to be able to use the flash pop-up as a fill light (to the shadows on a face, etc..). However, the shutter speed is set to 1/200 when the popup flash is in place, overexpose the scene. Is there a reason why the pop-up flash can't sync high speed like an external flash to allow a faster shutter speed and always get a filling?

    Thank you

    David

    It has to do with the amount of energy is available for the flash.  A more powerful flash can more easily manage the sync high speed.

    Sync and sync high speed are related to the work the Shutter curtain on any SLR digital.  There are two doors.  A slides open, and close other slides.  The reason for which there must be two doors (instead of one) is because that if there is only one, then the door would slide open, then reverses to slide.

    Assume the following scenario were true:

    Suppose it takes the shutter a full 1 second door to slide open.  If we set an exposure time of 2 seconds, the following should happen if there was only one door.

    -l' shutter starts to slide open from left to right, allowing light to reach the pixels on the left edge of the sensor.  The right edge is always in the dark.

    -as slides of doors, more and more pixels are eposed to light.

    -a second later reached the opposite end and all the pixels are exposed to light, but the door must immediately reverse and start close because it will take a full second to slide the door closed.

    -the door begins to move and immediately the pixels on the edge of most on the right are in the dark, because they are covered by the shutter, but the pixels on the left edge are still exposed to the light.

    -the door has finally reached the edge against a second later and no pixel is exposed to light.

    Think to what just happened... the pixels on the edge of 'left' of the sensor got a second exhibition 2... but the pixels on the right edge of the probe were barely exposed for a fraction of a second.  You'd have a horrible blow to look.

    To resolve this problem, the camera uses TWO doors... begins a sliding open... the other follows a moment later (based on the selected shutter speed) and starts sliding closed.  Now, all pixels are exposed for the same period of time, regardless of the shutter speed you use.

    But the reality is they are mechanically sliding doors and it takes time to move.  Flash sync speed is shortest possible exposure that can be turned where the first door has enough time to COMPLETELY slide open so that when the flash goes off, the entire sensor is exposed and benefit of lightning.  The second door can slide THEN closed.

    If you do not use flash and you set a very fast shutter speed (say 1/1000th) the second door actually starts closeing long before the end of the first door opening.  In fact the second door is "hunting" the first establishes a "slot" which sweeps the sensor.

    With this in mind... now think just what a flash how to predict sync high speed.

    Assume that your camera has a maximum speed of flash-sync of 1/200th, but you want to shoot at 1/400th.

    This means that the first door must begin to open.  When he reached the midpoint, the flash must trigger to light the subject - but half the sensor did not lightning.  The second door closes as the first door continues to open up.  When the first door reaches the opposite edge, the second door will now be in the middle.  The flash needs to fire AGAIN - this time to expose the pixels on the 2nd half of the sensor.

    This means that the flash should fire TWICE in quick succession and the impulses must be PRECISELY 1/800th second (half or your second 1/400th total exposure times) apartment.    No flash would be able to recycle in just 1/800th dry if she gave a burst of the power of the light.  In other words, that it must reserve at least half of its power for the second round.

    If you increase the shutter speed to 1/800th... now the flash to trigger FOUR times and no single burst may be stronger than 25% of the power of lightning - and gusts must precisely timed occurs 1/1600e seconds, independently of the other.

    You can quickly see how this is going to require a flash with a power or you won't be able to finish the sync high speed on something more than just a few feet.

    For the light of day, the most brilliant exhibition is going to be the sunny 16 rule... f/16 with the shutter speed, the value in contrast to ISO.  So, for 100 ISO, you can use 1/100th sec.  To f/8, you can use 1/200th (and now you are still below the max flash sync speed).

  • How to avoid the stalemate between count with all and several calls from an EP getBackingMapEntry...

    We have a processor input, which initiates a transaction lite by calling getBackingMapEntry on several similar entries.  The same cache distributed these similar entries of accommodation also simultaneously services count with all call and we often a blocking scenario comes from the fact that the count with all call trying to access/key in the same cache block - but in a different sequence - date entry processor accessed (for example, the European Parliament access to similar input 1 then similar input 2 while the count with all attempts to block the same but entries in sequence 2) then the entry 1).  The obvious solution is to change the sequence entry processor accesses these entries to match the sequence used by the count with all operation, but we do not know what sequence consistency applies to operations NamedCache.getAll.  Anyone know?  We believe that we excluded (e.g., consistency does not consider wrt the count with all access sequence) the following:

    • The sequence in an ordered collection of keys such as a list that is passed as an argument to count with all operation
    • The hash code of the key value
    • Any use of Comparable on the keys

    We use 3.7.1 consistency where it varies between 3.7.1 and 12 c.

    Thanks in advance.

    We've thought of it (always happens shortly after the publication on a support site).  If anyone is curious, it seems that the binary class implements Comparable and that consistency sorts instance converted by binary key and access the Scriptures based on this order sorted.  If the entry processor converts the keys to binary instances, sorts and accessed in sorted order, there is no potential blocking (of our observations, at least).  It would be nice if Oracle should document this that people better understand how to write safe concurrent code.

  • Is it possible to create an animated gif with a different hotspot/link on each State?

    Hello! I was unable to find the answer to my question by searching, sorry if this has been discussed already.

    I'm doing a gif animated which is actually a small slideshow with a different link on each slide (or State, as are called Fireworks). But it doesn't seem to let me use a hotspot for all this, even if I insert in the layer instead of in the State. I tried to use slices instead of hot spots, and it does the same thing.

    Is this possible?

    No, you can not do this. It is not a question of fireworks, just the way work GIF animation. You will need to use Flash or Flash Catalyst for this type of functionality.

    To justify:

    The second is more a question I should ask on the kingdoms of Minecraft, but you that someone here might know.

    Also, I have access to the Apple ID, but I'm not going to pay more money.

    If the shuffle still appears in iTunes when you connect, you can try to do a restore using iTunes, where the cause is a software problem.

    If the problem reoccurs after the restoration, it's probably a battery worn.  Need soldering skills to replace yourself, and iPod shuffle (with the exception of the 1st generation) is very small.  Not easy to work on.  This web site has repair guides

  • Using a counter with FiniteSamps and one with ContSamps

    I am using 2 counters on the NI USB-6229 (or USB-6259), case where a counter is implemented for FiniteSamps and another for ContSamps. I have the following MeasurementStudio code:

    ErrChk DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanTicks(hCnt0, "Dev1/ctr0", "", "20MHzTimebase", DAQmx_Val_Low, 0, 400, 400);
    ErrChk DAQmxCfgImplicitTiming(hCnt0, DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps, 100);

    ErrChk DAQmxStartTask (hCnt0);

    ErrChk DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanTicks(hCnt1, "Dev1/ctr1", "", "20MHzTimebase", DAQmx_Val_Low, 0, 400, 400);

    ErrChk DAQmxCfgImplicitTiming(hCnt1, DAQmx_Val_ContSamps, 2);

    ErrChk DAQmxStartTask (hCnt1);

    When I run it, I get an error-50103 "the resource specified is reserved". If I change the FiniteSamps to ContSamps on the first counter, everything works fine.

    If I use only one counter with FiniteSamps, everything works very well.

    Is this a bug in DAQmx or the use of double counter on M Series devices is limited to ContSamps?

    VIC

    Hey Vic,

    It is actually planned on a device of the M series.  Here's a time diagram of the M Series user manual which might make this a little clearer:

    The device uses actually one counter for the other door so the result is a generation of finite pulse.  If you can provide the door from another source, you can configure a generation of continuous pulses on two counters and their door (DAQmx calls it a "relaxing break") of this external signal.

    You can also look at the use of the digital I/o correlated to generate impulses over multiple (up to 32 lines on your 6229 and 6259).  You could use one of the counters to generate a time base for digital lines and build the waveform as a result.

    One thing to note is that our new X series cards can generate a generation of impulses finished on a "single" counter (it was actually a paired internal counter that allows this).  There are four accessible counters by the user on the X series devices, which means you could generate four pulse trains finished.

    Best regards
