Oh lmao Oh well, shit happens

ok I am so freaking confused after reading the last few posts
maybe it's because I have been working too much

You allways work Futurama.

yep. your lens is too long for your on-camera flash.

you need a seperate strobe unit!

lens isnt too long its too wide angle

Haha.

I do have a speedlite 430EX - this seems to be working for me so far, with the bounce flash. All's I gotta do is move it up so it's not directly facing the person / thing.

Strobe unit? What is that?

hmm I am really curious about what the heck a strobe unit is. I tried to google for it but it shows different explanation... Is it some kind of a light source for indoor or studio photography?

430ex is a strobe, like other camera flashes(atleast nowadays)

as far as i know strobe light is some light that flashes fast in all the cases.

doesnt strobe effect lighting help with a camera's focus. Like an AF assist method?

coz the built-in flash can fire bursts of light, to help the focus pinpoint the point of focus, right?

uh ok now I am even more confused. So a camera flash is a strobe but there are strobes that could flash continuously?
Well stop calling camera flashes strobes ffs! lol It's a freaking flash not a stupid strobe besides strobe is such an ugly name
