Im curious. If the flashes dont work will GE or Sylvania honor the guarantee on the back of the box? It says they will reimburse a prorated portion of the suggested retail and if they do will it b by 1978s retail price or todays ebay sales rate?
Wouldn’t turning the exposure comp dial only lengthen the shutter speed? When shooting flash, shutter speed only affects the strength of ambient light and shouldn’t increase the amount of exposure gained from the flash.
I think it depends. From my experience, when I plug a flash into the camera, the camera defaults to 1/40s shutter and adjusts the aperture based on how far the focal point is. If my subject is far away and the camera maxes out at f/8, then turning up the dial would only change shutter speed and doesn't do much for the flash. In any other case, the camera adjusts the aperture between f/32 and f/8, which does affect flash exposure, before it changes the shutter speed. In the comparison discussed in the video, the Mint FlashBar II would just have a shorter max effective distance, even if you crank the dial on the camera. I'm sure that's not the case for all versions of the sx-70, especially the Alpha-7, but at least for the earlier copies, I've found that that's the case. Hope that helps?
Wow man, such high quality videos.
Ngl I think the mint bars help shape and light skin tones better
That might be true. I found that the Nissin tends to have a more magenta tint compared to the magnesium cartridges and the Mint FlashBar.
@@coffeeandspice yeah, I have an old school flash as well. It depends on the setting how it’ll react

Theoretically possible, since GE is still the same company as back then, but I really doubt that they would 😅
I would love to know if anyone has tried it.

The sx70 changes the aperture for using the flash, it closes it or opens it depending on focus settings and the exposure dial when using the flash
你好，想请问sx70怎么连接使用nissin闪光灯？
nissin闪光分两部分。下面的一部分是装电池的；这一部分是用一个夹子夹在相机的下面。另外一部分是闪光；这一部分是有插头的，连接在相机的上面，跟MintFlashbar一样。上下两部分是有电线连接的。
I am the second like? I feel honored
