Re: Question about using Canon 20D with studio stobes

Hi Dave,

You need to shoot in manual mode.

By selecting anything with automatic exposure, the camera is metering for
the ambient light - and hence goes for a very low shutter speed (which also
explains the blur).

Try starting at 1/250 @ F5.6 and go down from there - ignore the light
meter - just go on how the image looks.

Don't go above 1/250 - at faster speeds the shutter isn't completely open
all at the same time - and you'll cut off part of your image.

Cheers,

Colin
