> Experiment with the K850 Xenon Flash
Bookmark topic
Well previously I made a thread about the xenon flash making my pictures come all far to washed with white. I thought the flash was too intense and too bright for whatever lighting conditions it was being used in.
So I decided to put a few pieces of clear sellotape over the flash, careful not to block the light sensor. Then I took a picture, there was minimal difference. Then I drew over the top half of the sellotape with a black marker and took another picture. There was a vast improvement, a lot less white washed colours from the flash although it was still a bit bright. So I decided to take another, this time the whole sellotape over the flash covered with black marker. The picture came out a bit too dull this time, but looked better than the pictures I was taking without anything over the flash.
This isn't really a solution to the problem I'm having with the flash, but it proves that the flash is indeed too intense?
If people want I could post pictures of the results, it was only common sense that this would be the result of the experiment. Just wanted to know that infact if the flash was toned down I could get much better pictures.
So.. is there anyone way, even with custom firmware to limit the flash a bit?[ This Message was edited by: holcar on 2008-01-04 22:06 ]

you can limit the sensitivity of the sensor to light by lowering the ISO to 100

mmm I'm not sure it's a good idea to cover the flash. When it bursts, it's supposed to be really hot (that happens in digital cameras). Just be carefull, I tried covering it when a flash is too bright, but with paper a bit far away, although that way the flash shines on the paper blinding me
lol

I think it's best that you do a zoom on the object before you are gonna use the flash for minimal brightness on the object.

Use ISO 100 on objects close to you. If that doesn't work i'm sad to say that you have a firmware fault.
