[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 303354, member: 12496"] That one is an extremely good bargain, but no, Manual flash means the flash is in manual mode, not the camera. The camera can optionally be in manual mode too, but this is about the flash mode. TTL flash is automatic point&shoot flash, so to speak. The camera meters and adjusts the flash power, automatically. In manual flash mode, you set the flash power level to like perhaps 1/2 power. Then it does half power. Regardless what it needs to be. Manual means it is YOU that determines what correct flash level should be .... for every picture. These two, Neewer and Yonngnu 560 models, are both manual flash. The Yongnuo YN565EX is also automatic TTL flash, for not greatly more money (currently $104 at Amazon, but price varies frequently).
