4 Principles For AI In PR and Comms

    Hi, i have a question. If i have a 18-55 mm lens, for example, is there any chance to use the zoom option automatically? Or do i have to set the flash every time i change the zoom of the lens? Do i make myself clear? (I don't write or speak in english very often). Thanks!

    • @comsteria
      @comsteria Місяць тому

      Yes, this flash has an automatic zoom function that will respond to the focal length of your lens. When set to automatic mode, the flash zooms in or out in sync with the lens, adjusting the flash coverage accordingly as you zoom. To set to automatic zoom mode: Click the Zoom button so the focal length number on the display screen flashes Rotate the setting wheel anti-clockwise until you see the letter 'AU' for automatic Click the Set button

    Let's get this straight, inflation is caused by dilution of the currency. If Central Banks continue to print money out of nothing then that dilutes the money. Inflation is not rising prices but a consequence of inflation. These privately educated idiots think we the working people are uneducated. So lets put it this way, if you have a cup of strong coffee and keep adding water the coffee gets weaker and weaker.
