Hasselblad H1 Flash metering

[reinhard_scheuregger]

hi all,

this might sound like a dumb question, but i sort of cannot figure out how to properly get

the correct settings with the bult-in flash active and the camera in either "A" or "S".

my readings - obviously the ambient light reading - do not change once the flash has been

opened. i do get an extra information, though, minus EV values. by changing shutterspeed

and/or aperture i can bring that value up to +/- zero. but, and this puzzles me: which value

counts, provided i want to take a picture in low light and want it to come out right ...??

i read and reread the manual but it doesn't make sense to me.

anybody out there who could help?

thanks

reinhard

Reinhard,

 

I do not think there are many, if any, people on this forum that use an H1 or H2. I too do not understand the flash functionality on my H2, and since I never use flash, I didn't bother. Sorry. You may get better responses from http://www.luminous-landscape.com/. Good luck.

thanks, derek. i will try out your suggested link. eye-opening, though, that you, too, are not familiar with your H2's flash. :-)
