Digital Slave
Posted on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 in Photography
is it possible to use vivitar sf 3000 or sf 4000 as slave flash with canon sx120is digital p&s camera?
On their web-site, vivitar say that these two products are ment for digital SLR cameras but I wonder if they can be used with digital point and shoot cameras too.
Sounds very feasible. The 3000 looks tiny, I'd avoid that. The 4000 has at least a head that can move up and down and zoom.
From a 2AA flash I would not expect too much in the way of power output so either you';d have to move them close or you would have to work with multiple flashes.
Despite that, $40 for a flash with a built-in optical slave is a very interesting price. You may face the challenge of setting the output manually which can be a challenge at first.
So, to summarize, yes this does look very possible but it will require a bit of time to work out settings.
