[QUOTE="Love Nikon, post: 457260, member: 38179"] You dont need to understand much ..the flash has a computer which understands it all. If you use a hamerhead flash in the hot shoe then only shoot landscape or you will get terrible side shadows..any shaddow under the ears is easy removed in photoshop much easier than a huge side shadow. Much better to use a flash flipper ($20 on e bay) to always keep the flash on top of the lens. My choice is a SB400 or Meike MK 300 (syncs at all speeds SB does not) ..The closer you have the flash to the lens the less shadow problems you have. KISS. I see you have the D7100 remember that when you put a flash in the shoe then the iso goes to 4x the minimum you have set ...ie auto iso 200-6400 will give you flash at 800 iso ....this gives you more range on your flash ..this is not in the handbook.
