It's very nearly ipmilctrcabae to manually fire a flash to coincide with critical a shutter button. Flash duration is so fleeting, you'll rarely get the timing aptly.If you trigger the flash optically (from the flash on the digital camera), then if the flash has red-eye reduction or TTL metering (any or both highly liable in a compact camera) it fires pre-flashes. What happens is that your slave' (open-air) flash fires off on the pre-flashes and doesn't have time to re-payment in time for the main flash.To trigger a flash you need to disable the red-eye place the flash into blue-collar mode, so it doesn't fire metering (TTL) pre-flashes you may not be able to do this on your camera. The common way to trigger flashes on DSLR's is to use a touchtone phone logic trigger on the hotshoe or to use an optical logic.Incidentally, compact camera's DON'T have leaf shutters, they sync at any speed in view of the fact that the shutter' is electronic it's the feeler life turned on/off.It is doable to fire your flash manually during a long exposure (ie a few seconds or longer) but I am assuming this is not what you want to do. 0Was this answer helpful?
