Hi Mats,
Have you read the section on TTL flash in the manual?
Best,
David
Hi David,
and thanks for your very relevant question. Answer is yes and no, as I didn´t finish the reading properly. However, the flash is not flashing properly everytime. Seems like the flash is resetting from the main flash and sometime just making a minor test flash. Here, I have to study the manual of the flash to make sure I am controlling it properly. However, even the camera is sometimes ressetting from the "flash measure" to "Normal sync" Based on your referens to the manual and its reading, it seems clear that you just can use the camera´s meter system and not the one from the flash, which is fine as long as you can finetune aperture (and shutter speed when using the flash outdoor for flash filling).
I imagine, it is not your role to comment on Metz flash systems suitability as a light carry portable flash system for the H3D. But maybe there are some professional photographers out in the cyberspace that can share their experience in using the Metz 74 MZ-5 together with MZ-3 as a slave.
For a couple of weeks I have my hands on Phocus for PC and it is a true positive step compared to Flexcolor. Now, you just have to catch up with some of the most important features of e.g. Lightroom to make it a complete tool. This issue has well been covered in an other thread and I fully support views of those members.
David, thanks for guiding me that little footstep to solve the small problem with the flash and a BIG welcome onboard to this forum making a big difference through your concie responses setting things right and clarifying Hasselblads view on the current and future system. I grew up with Hasselblad and even met Victor Hasselblad as a kid several times and it is an important legacy you have to carry forward.
Regarding another thread where somebody is comparing some MFD with 35 mm formats. This weekend, I am particpating in in a workshop covering Fine Art Nude Photography with some of the top notch professionals here in the Philippines using Canon, Nikon high end cameras and they are just stunned with the resolution and sharpness of the H3D-22 that I am using. For them, it is impossible to even get close to that resolution, skinn tones and details in shadows. It is just a fabolous system!
