- There is much more to flash photography than the flash itself:). Most DSLRs and mirrorless cameras offer multiple flash modes (fill, red eye, slow sync with red eye, slow sync, rear curtain, etc.). The default flash mode may not yield desired results, so I encourage you to take time to gain a better understanding.
I demo the different flash modes using Nikon's D3400 but the same concept applies to just about any camera in the Nikon, Canon, Sony, or Panasonic line. My goal is to offer a better understanding of flash and let you grow with the concepts ... explore, practice, and have fun!:)

This video is seriously worth its weight in gold and is exactly what I needed. My Nikon D3300 and I thank you.
thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help! :)
I have a D3400 ordered. I am enjoying your videos (and learning a lot) as I wait for the new toy to arrive. Your videos also serve to reinforce my confidence in my camera selection.
Thanks for the post Dennis and welcome to the world of photography!:) The D3400 is a solid/capable camera. Take time to understand the features, practice/experiment, and have fun!:)
In regard to flash photography and the various modes, this is one of the best instructional videos I've seen on utube. Many thanks for being so clear succinct.
Thanks for the post/feedback Daniel and glad to be of help!:)
Perfect tutorial. 25 minutes video is unbelievable. For me, I looks it is 5 minutes video. Wonderful demo. Superb. You are the motivator for us, having Nikon D3400. Now only I realized there are many flash methods available with my D3400.
Thanks for the post/feedback Ravi and glad to be of help!:)
@@RealWorld Do Many videos. I am very new to photography. Born child for photography. Your videos give energy for me.
thank you so much for explaining the flash modes! I'm actually playing around with a 35mm point and shoot and the modes confused me. Really loved how you gave picture examples for each mode!
Wao, this guy is the best teacher. Very useful video. Thank you so much
I so agree
Thanks for the feedback and glad to be of help!:)
RealWorld, have watched a few of your videos now and liked every one of them . You use a practical and methodical manner in which you captivate and educate your audience with simple explanation and progression in the field of photography. You have a new subscriber :) keep up the good work...
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
Amazing explanation and superb content. Its astonishing how you’re able to explain things so simply without going a whole lot fancy!
Thanks for the post and appreciate the feedback!:)
Nikon should be paying you for your invaluable videos.
LOL - agreed!:) Ahhhhh, I simply enjoy photography and helping others to better understand the hobby/profession as well.
The most detailed and complete explanation of flash modes. Thank you. Helped me a lot.
Thanks for the feedback and glad to be of help!:)
Your a great teacher! It makes me wonder if you are a teacher. I have learned a lot watching your camera videos. Thanks
sorry for the late reply:). i am not a teacher professionally but have managed countless projects and given many presentations along the way. :)
I am a beginner in photography and I have been looking several videos and reading a lot. And so far, this is my favorite video. I think I learned a lot, let see with my practice. Thanks for this video. Nice content, nice explained, great voice and accent, examples were very clear. Thank you very much for this video.
Thanks for the post/feedback David and glad to be of help!:)
Perfect instructions. Thank you for covering these basic operations. I finally understand the different flash modes.
How great you are and the way you simplifies the context is amazing! I love your work and thank you a lot for what you do here.
I am a fan of your channel, please keep up the good job.
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Stay tuned as I have more vids on the way:).
Man! You are the best!! Thank for all the information... This help me a lot!
Perfect. I was completely confused and almost avoiding using my camera in low light or dark situation, daft really. Now I want to go out and have some practise. Thanks for the clear explanation with the demos.
glad to be of help and enjoy night shots ... they are great once you get the hang of them!:)
This video was GREAT very detailed for someone who is a novice at built in camera flash!
Very useful video and helped me understand flash modes better. Carefully planned and put together video just like all other videos from this channel. Looking forward to learning more from this channel :)
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
Pure and solid gold! Thank you!!
I have recently been introduced into the world of photography and I enjoy how you explain thing in a detailed and thorough way. You have a pleasant and well spoken voice. Thanks for the videos
Thanks for the post/feedback Orlando and glad to be of help! :)
Bravos! You are a champ. Thanks for this fruitful video. Have watched many videos but this real content was missing everywhere else. :)
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
Keep up the amazing videos! Been watching your videos since i got my camera and learned a lot from you! Thanks
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) Stay with it and the doors of creativity will open (or stay open)!:)
You are really good in explaining what is difficult in other way.. thank you really..
I don't know what's better about this channel. The clear simple presentation for us amatuers or the realization that yes, you can make a photography video tutorial without behaving on-camera like you just took a large hit of cocaine five minutes before production.
PS My speedlight takes 4xAA batteries. I cannot get my NiMH batteries to work in it, only alkaline for some reason. Which makes me wonder, is there an inexpensive speedlight out there that can be recharged without swapping out batteries every 150 flashes? I haven't found one.
LOL - thanks for the post/feedback!:) I have always tried to keep things simple and to the point although I tend to sway a bit here and there:). I am in the same boat regarding batteries. I typically remove my batteries from flashes and triggers to prevent any inadvertent drain which seems to happen to some extent.
your are the best teacher...................thank you so much for your simple /easy but most effective tutorials ...a must subscribed for me :)
Thanks for the post/feedback and welcome to the channel Khaled!:)
Great video, very well explained again. I only have one digital camera with a built in flash, my 7DII, but I'm going to have a look tomorrow to see what functions it has. This could be the first time I’ve ever used it. I have a couple of Canon EOS analogue cameras that have a built in flash but I’m not sure if they will have any functions at all. For one of the cameras they used the built in flash as a major selling point. It’s great that this functionality exists as I’m sure it will take away a lot of the fear about using a speedlights for the first time. Very well done once more, you really are the best teacher I’ve seen in many years.
I keep meaning to ask, what is your name please?
Thanks for the post/feedback Mark and glad to be of help!:) Understanding the different flash modes can be a big help on any given shot in need of more light. My name is Mark as well:).
perfect presentation
Yet another very clear and easy to understand video. I've watched all your videos and bought the D3400 based on yours (or other videos) and am loving it.
keep up the great work and thank you!
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Enjoy the camera ... it is capable/powerful in it's own right:).
Really enjoy your videos..you a very good teacher. thank you
This guy simply ROCKS!! Great information explained super clearly.
Thanks for the feedback and glad to be of help!:)
I watched your video and immediately decided to tinker with the flash modes on my D3400, and I discovered a tip that should have been in your video! Did you know that holding down the flash button and scrolling the "click-wheel" will switch between flash modes without having to enter the "i" menu? Just like changing Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO. That click-wheel is pretty handy!
Thanks for the post/tip!:) I have been accustom to using for demo purposes and did not mention the other method:). ty.
wow just tried it and works just fine
Im new for the D3400, thank your for the demo
glad to be of help!:) i still use the camera today and recently took it to an air show to capture some great shots:).
Superb video, thanks for your generosity and teaching skills.
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help! :)
this is really great video .. thanks
Love the demos!
I appreciate your instructional videos. I am a aspiring photographer, your tutorials have and are having a monumental impact on my ability to capture awesome pictures. Not to mention the priceless help when in difficult lighting situations. Thank you! Can you do a video on the when to use the exposure compensation feature on the Nikon D3400?
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Exposure compensation is an interesting feature. In short, it tricks the camera into thinking the overall exposure should be slightly lighter or darker depending on your setting. If you do not set exposure compensation, the camera will meter/exposure to the current scene. If you would like the camera to meter/expose a bit brighter, simply adjust the exposure compensation up one or two stops. If you would like the camera to meter/expose a bit darker, simply adjust the exposure compensation down one or two stops:).
You are really good in explaining what is difficult in other way.. thank you really..
Thank you for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)

Another perfect tutorial! Wish you could spend a little more time (with examples) on various flash options (Full, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc.) in the Manual mode. Nevertheless a fantastic tutorial. Million thanks! Best from Bloomington. Go IU! ;)
Thanks for the post/feedback and great to see a fellow Hoosier on the thread!:) I have more videos on the way so stay tuned:).
Really well explained as usual, really like your teaching. Do you have anything on outdoor flash use, for example by a camp fire
Thanks for the post/feedback Andy!:) I do not have any outdoor flash related videos ... yet:).
Thanks so much for a great video. You are always so clear with what you are showing and have helped an amateur like myself a great deal.

Hi. Really learned alot from your videos so far! Thank you :) I was wondering if you could make a video about metering and reading histogram. I've seen other videos on it but I think I'll deff learn better from you 😁
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be help Shani!:) I like the idea and will add it to my list:).
Many Thanks clear and concise examples especially rear curtain
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) Gaining a better understanding of rear curtain is helpful in various situations:).
Great video, I’m learning to use my 3400 with your great vids!!

Very helpful and easy to understand video. Just subscribed.
I just got the Nikon d3400 for birthday yesterday and I am new to it and your videos are really helpful! But I can't figure out if you can disable flash all together on manual, do you know if there is anyway? Thanks.
Congrats on the camera and welcome to the world of photography!:) Take time to understand the camera/features and practice, practice, practice:). If you are in Manual mode, the flash will not automatically pop-up (you will need to press the small flash button located on the side of the flash). The same holds true when you are in Shutter priority or Aperture priority. The flash will automatically pop-up when you are in the Auto mode and the camera senses you are in a relatively dark situation and need flash.
As usual an excellent video. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I have a question, my Nikon D3300 camera flash is popping but the light is not working. I have searched in online but didn't find solution. Any suggestions please?
Sounds a bit strange. I found the following post that might be of help - www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/82997/Flash+pops+up+but+does+not+flash

Glad to be of help Subhashis!:)
Great video again real-world thanks for all your help
Thanks for the feedback and glad to be of help!:)
How do I enable the flash when using SnapBridge?
When you are in auto mode, will the flash pop? Curious to know what mode you are using.
Great video. I ve enrolled some courses for short terms because they all derived me crazy. They tell you somehow what you should do but there is no explanation for why you should do this. I learnt sth during years but i cant fully manage the machine. Then for some conditions when you see your phone photos seem better than your dslrs', it becomes a paradox of your life :) .
So i decided that i cant spent all these money just for unsuccessful hobby. But after watching your videos and trying them i made a peace with photography 👍👍
Then 15 days ago my husband told me that he is willing to buy some accessories for me if i took photo of his products and clients' shops for social media. I am so excited about this. i would like to ask sth. His clients are winery shops and restaurants. I need to take photo of a machine in these ambient. Which lenses should i have? I ve nikon 3100. Thanks for the videos
Thanks for the post/feedback/question!:) If I can do it, you can to!:) The key is understanding the camera - take your time and practice, practice, practice:). Since all images are digital, there is no harm is taking a bunch of shots. I typically recommend the fixed 50 f/1.8 (amzn.to/2eG2eWb) or the fixed 35 f/1.8 (amzn.to/2eG2eWb). Since you plan to take product shots, I would lean towards the fixed 35. This will give you a slightly wider angle which might be good given the subject matter.
RealWorld thank you 👍
This is the best
Can we use rear curtain sync in bulb mode. I mean the time I want to close the shutter the flash should fire
Hmmmm - very interesting question!:) I believe this might be doable, however I might suggest firing the flash manually before you close the shutter ... this is giving me some creative ideas:).
Thanks a lot ....👍
Glad to be of help!:)
You're sensational
OMG what a awesome video,I have the Nikon D3400. you are a Master
Thanks for the post/feedback!:)
Great video!
Thanks for the post/feedback!:)
thoo many presets to memorise and makes shooter fumble too long. isnt it all basically overridden by stepping down shutter speeds
Hi there I'm an absolute fan of your tutorials, on this behalf i would like to ask you a question, i got into photography from about a month or so, and obviously bought a D3400, im still learning a lot from your channel and others, but how do i shoot a foto in pitch dark in a forest lets just say?!? thanks.
Thanks for the post/feedback and welcome to the channel!:) Given the situation, I might suggest to items - 1) a sturdy tripod /and/ 2) a flashlight. You will need a tripod so the camera does not shake while the shutter is open (the shutter will need to remain open for many seconds assume the scene is very dark). You will need a flashlight to illuminate something in the scene to lock focus:). I created a video on night photography and trailing lights which might be of help - th-cam.com/video/TbSgl5e6h7I/w-d-xo.html
