If you’re looking for convenience, TTL flash is as simple as point and shoot. But if you need consistent results shot after shot, manual flash is the way to go. The TCM button on Flashpoint and Godox transmitters is an easy way to get the best of both and in this video Gavin Hoey shows you how it works.
Starting with a single light, Gavin shows you why you might need the TCM function and how to set it up for either one flash or multiple flashes. He then goes on the explain how TCM helps him get perfect exposure on shallow depth of field portraits using high speed sync flash in his small home studio.
