You’re back! Thanks for reviewing the flash. Very helpful.

Thank you Marlene. A great walk through on the Godox flash and HSS.

Welcome back. Thanks for all you do for G9 owners!

Excellent and useful run through of the Godox flash unit with G9 - thanks so much Marlene for the real basics so beautifully explained.

Hello, Marlene, welcome back! Good to see you back and hope to see more of your videos.

Yeahhh welcome back, great informative vid as always

Welcome back Marlene, enjoyed the video and very useful, thanks.

Nice to see you are back. Great video again, thank you.

Hey Marlene, good to see you back again! I certainly hope your foot heals quickly!! And thanks for posting this video!

Good to see you back! Kept looking for your videos. As always, this was a helpful video. I have the Godox TT350o so hopefully this will mostly apply. I rarely use it but is nice to have on hand. Now I know where to go for a quick refresher.

Welcome back! Nice tutorial. Very useful info. Love using fill flash. 👍🏻😊📷✌🏻

After many years, I landed on this video. Thank you for the informative video.

This has to be the best video on the subject. Thank you so much for this clear, to the point, extremely informative video. Keep'm coming.!!!

Hey lady!! Glad to see you're back. I pray all is well your way. GREAT video as usual. PEACE from ATL ✊🏾📸

I usually do not use flash But I have a basic Godox and had really no idea not use it. you cleared up so many questions I had. now I am ready to work with. Also, you have been my go too source learning how to use my G9. I have learned tons about my 9G since coming from my Canon gear. Keep the tutorial coming.

Thank you,Marlene! It was so easy to follow your instructions!

She’s back!!

Such a beautiful tutorial. Thank you for teaching so well

Thank you for your very thorough guide through the flash in your video.

I have just bought my flash lamp -) priceless video - thank you Marlene! (again)

Awesome thanks! Happy new years 🎉

Was looking for a review video of this flash with regards to the high speed sync for my skateboarding photos and turns out you're talking about shooting skating. Couldn't be more relevant, thanks.

Just bought a godox flash and knew there was some help here !!!! Thank you 😊

You have given best info on G9 camera and flash

You’re back! ❤️

Marlene, you read my mind. I was considering high speed flash for use with bird photography in shady locations, but wasn’t sure how to find the best flash at a reasonable price. You set me on the right path and got me started with this video. I love this flash and commander! Thanks a bunch.

Been a while since you uploaded this, Corona is with us now! so I hope you are well Marlene and keeping safe. The same goes for you guys.

great tutorial, thanks!

So helpful ,really liked the video !

Nice review very simple and didactic. Thx Marlene.

Thank for teaching the Flash & Trigger Settings & Operations.

Hey great explanation for a complicated subject thanks from your friends from the UK !

You are that cool teacher that got along with all your students who I'd want to stay with after school eating taco bell and talking tech 🥰🤩🤣 Very informative & soothing (if that makes any sense) video ! Ive learned more about flash from you and that pencil than anyone else on youtube 👍🏽

i just found you! i enjoy listening to you. thanks!

Thanks your video! It is a very detailed good video to instruct me how to use high speed sync when I want to increase the shutter speed.

Wow, thank you so much. very informative and thorough.

Thanks marlene very interesting, easy to understand video..thanks 😀

Just bought the TT350 for my G9 a few weeks ago, does make a difference. Good to see you again.

This video was so helpful thank you so much!

Great video. I don’t have much experience with flash photography is my weak point This is awesome

Great video!

Excellent! BTW, I picked up a G9, mostly thanks to you. Videos to come!

Your videos are so much better than trying to RTFM. After watching the pertinent video I understand what I was seeking to learn. Cameras are computers with a lens attached. Trying to make the camera do what I want can be trying. Watching your videos make me believe I am in control. Sometimes I’m not not sure. The G9 is a super hybrid body. Sometimes I think it is smarter than me. I’m afraid the body b Does too. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret).

very nicely explained thanks a lot

Good stuff and to the point.Thank you.

Thanks Marlene, Going to pick mine up soon.

Nice review Marlene. I'd been looking for a unit to replace my rattling Metz. This review tipped the balance, V860ii & Xpro trigger arriving today.

Thanks for the video... Very informative... 😊😊😊

Great and helpful!

Thank you! very informative :)

Welcome back😊😊

Love it how you used a pencil as a pointer. Saving this video. I have a godox.

my favorite photography teacher (and the mother i never had lol)

thankiu easy to understand with this video.

Excellent instructional video Marlene! Big difference in your pic samples w/wo flash. I just bought a G9 but my photos are outdoor landscapes, hiking and of my dogs so I'm not sure where I would benefit from a flash. I bought a Moman LED light panel that I think I will be OK with...and it only cost $60.

Thank you!

Thank you

I am glad to see you have returned. This was another informative video, thanks! I don't use flash but I keep thinking I should learn it. This was helpful. By the way, in the past you explained iDynamic and other such Lumix mysteries. One day could you explain Digital Zoom for stills? I never use this as I believe I will get a poor quality image. However, I wonder if it is as bad? If I am out with a prime lens and want to zoom, maybe digital zoom would be an option? I should test it I suppose, but I was thinking it could be a good subject for your videos - just an idea :-). All the best with the channel, I am looking forward to your next video.

I wasn't using my V860 for a while, so I'm glad to stumble upon your video. Thnx! Which song did you use for this video?

Hi Marlene, Thanks for all of your G9 videos. Really helpful! I was wondering if you or anyone you know ever used the Godox AD200 Pro with the G9 or other Lumix mirrorless cameras. I've heard mixed results about the trigger and misfiring. Cheers!

You are so cool. I like your videos. ;-)

More good ness thank you

The recycle time should be pretty fast if you’re using lower power right? Such as 1/8 power or less.

I have the X1T but it doesn't have that HSS switch on the side?? it has another switch instead with a sort of light icon and I can't get my flash to work wirelessly with speeds higher than 1/200 sec ... sony a7 iii, godox v860ii, + X1Ts trigger

Hi Marlene, I also have a G9 and was going to order the V860II flash and was wondering what transmitter model you are using? I’d like to get the combo together when I order it. Thanks Dave

Hello I have a problem with this flash is new second event I using it full charge battery in mode ttl Take one or two photo and stop shooting Do you have any sugestión please

Love your work. Worth noting the difference between optical mode and radio mode when dealing with master/slave modes. Having the flash on optical slave won’t work if the trigger is set to radio or vice versa.

I just got the Lumix G9 and was thinking about getting a light such as the Godox Ad200 Pro. I heard it requires HSS and I've heard Panasonic has had issues with HSS. Does anyone know if the lumix G9 is compatible with the Godox Ad200 pro with an HSS transmitter? Thanks

Marlene, love your very helpful videos. A question. I’m looking for a flash for my G9. Godox V860II vs Godox TT685. They seem identical in specs with the exception of the battery. The V860II has rechargeable battery and is much more expensive. The TT685 uses AA batteries. What is the difference in your opinion other than the batteries? Is it worth to pay $70 extra for the V869II? Thanks.

Hi Marlene! I have the HSS option activated on my Godox V860II but I still can't up my shutter speed. The camera is not reacting as if I was still in normal mode. Is there anything else I need to change on the transmitter or the camera (Sony A7III)? I have the TTL mode on. Thank you

The HSS only works on TTL mode. Is there any way to use manual mode on HSS setting?

What about this flash indoor and low light situation photography result? Because i am interesd to buy good flash in 100 euro rang. I am user of G9 . please suggests me. Last question is this possble or availability of defuser cover of this flash

Hi Marlene! Do you know if this system will work with the GH4?

I have the same version of this one that Adorama has called flashpoint which is made by Godox but Adorama puts their name on it and it has other pluses too.

I have this same flash (flash only) I’ve only used it on my camera. I want to use it off camera so do I only need to order the trigger? Do I need a receiver also?

Hi this video is very helpful. But this same flash is not working when placed on the hotshoe. is there any setting that i need to turn on on my sony a7iii. New to the flash photography. Please help

Thanks for the video. I have a question if you can use the flash while using burst mode on mechanical shutter? I've seen a Canon camera do it, but can't find a way to do it with my G9. Is it even possible?

Hi, I turned on hss but my shutter speed is still 1/250 and can't go above that

I was looking for a flashlight for a Lumix G9, and found the Godox TL350o (the smaller one). But also found some articles claiming that it's HSS (High Speed Sync) does not work well with the G9 (www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4397555). Apparently the product manual also mention this incompatibility. Have you heard anything about it?

Hello, cen I ask? I have trigger Godox on camera and flash T685 out of camera, all work just when I set HSS on camera more the 1/250 black bar happen... When I have flash directly on camera HSS work... where can be a problem?

Hi Marlene may I ask I can adjust higher shutter speed with HSS on the camera flash but I can't adjust the shutter on Slave Off camera flash with godox V1. Any suggestion?

Will a V860ii-N work with a X1t-c on a canon camera?

Hi Marlene. I recently purchased a Lumix g9 and was very disappointed that it does not allow me to shoot in exposure bracketing mode with flash. Maybe you know how this issue can be solved? Thank you

Does G7 work with an external flash?

My Flash option on the camera is Grayed out I am using manual shutter and the silent mode is OFF... please help

I hope you can answer this. When I attach a trigger to my gh5. I am unable to see the image get darker or lighter based upon the exposure any suggestions. Constant preview is on.

Great video, Marlene. Since you mentioned both Luminar 4 and Lightroom in the video, I'm wondering which you like best. Could you share some thoughts regarding pros and cons of both systems? I want to move beyond Apple's Photos soon, which is fine but limited, so looking for expert advice from folks like you.

Marlene, Do you ever stray outside of TTL. I am using ttl auto for the lens. Can you see any benefit to setting you flash. I use the a lot the Lecia 42.5. Would I put the flash lens setting on 42 or 85, That always confuses me. Please let me know

Mam, This flash can suitable for Lumix g85 camera

I bought it today for Nikon. I can turn on high-speed synch, but the moment i press the shutter button half press the high speed synch connection losts.. kindly help. Thank you.

I’ve just bought the Godox v860 iii. To use with my G9. Do you still shoot manual? I’ll be using it for a wedding.

hi Marlene, thanks for the informative video, but do you also have one about shooting burst with flash? I am beginner in shooting with flash and can't find out what settings or flash I need for make that possible with my Panasonic S1R... right now I use it with the Godox V860IIO, thanks and greetings from Austria

Today I’ll use exactly this flash in combination with my G9, but to shoot a large group of people indoors. It would be great if you could give some tips and advice on that. I already know I’ll do it in TTL and know that with my shutterspeed I can control the ambient light. I’m still doubting if I should put ‘flash exposure’ on or off...

Good videos Marlene! As a G9 expert, maybe can you tell me if you have the following problem as I with jpegs - I've had the G9 for a few months, came from Sony. When I review jpg in the VF, its nothing as sharp as the live preview (constant preview ON, drive mode with live view enabled). I can't figure it out. I expect the recorded image to be identical to the one shown in the VF, since (presumbaly) tha's the sensor output that will get written to the memory card. I contacted Panasonic, Second issue is jpg image quality in general. Even in strong end of day light, less exposed areas (but not in strong shadows) look like a mushy mess in some cases literally falls apart like a vga video still from the 90s (pana 12-60). Is this why you hear that pana overprocesses jpegs or is this just an issue with either the sensor or the sensor+pana lens combo? Amazingly, a canon new fd 50 does not seem (i could be wrong, have not tested both lenses on the exact same scene) to suffer from the same jpeg degradation , which leads me tp imagine that the excessice processing happens based on the lens type. I got a dear John answer from Panasonic rec to turn on constant preview... maybe you have some experience with these 2 issues? ------------------------------------- I have constant preview on but I still have difficulty reviewing image quality in viewfinder. I don't know if it's just the image quality, the glass or the evf. 30 years of picture taking enthusiast/semi-pro... i'm new to lumix, but take about 10,000 shots a year. Happy with the camera except for these worries. I am shooting jpeg (firmware 1,2 installed) for now. I have been using the Lumix 12-60 (not the leica), 45-150 and 100-300 ii lenses mainly, about 2000 shots. The results are similar with the 3 lenses. At the highest file size and resolution in jpg, it seems that as soon as the subject or part of it isn't directly bathed in light, even in broad daylight, things looks mushy and darker patches especially are very messy, and this isn't at 300%, just at 100-125%. This happens at low iso 200-800 (max), in daylight, non backlit scenes. Plenty of light. Shutter speeds 400 and higher, ibis on, so I'm surprised at how some subjects just fall apart. I can't imagine the glass is the problem on 3 lenses ... see the attached pictures 1- lumix 12-60) the building shot late afternoon especially - not really a challenging scene in my opinion. Faces are often problematic, complexions fall apart. The girl shot 2 lumix 12-60) you can see the contours of the lips teeth and freckles patches extremely soft and blotchy, and this is one of the better ones. Is this what lumix noise reduction produces esp. with lumix lenses attached to the camera? Also It doesn't seem to be noticeable degradation on manual vintage lenses (see 3 and 4 - vintage 135mm) soccer girls attached, and not 100% in focus due manual but no deterioration when zoomed in), so seems to be a G9-lumix lens combo thing. What does this tell us?

Thanks for the tutorial Marlene. Really useful. One question: in Slave mode, the HSS indicator disappears. So does that mean you can't use HSS in Slave mode? Also, I'm using a Sony A7R iv and I can't get the HSS mode to work on top of the camera. At speeds of 1/160 or faster, I get the half-dark frame. Is there an issue with the Sonys that you know of?

How the flash red light is on in my Nikon z6 ii camera, flash focus red light is not working ...... Please give me solution sister

Mine trigger doesn’t have that button for hsf.. I have x1t godox . With Nikon . So I change from the menu of camera but nothing appears on flash

Hello . Does it work with canon 250D ?

Hey there, site is looking great! Have you heard about the new firmware coming for the G9... 4k 10bit 422 among many many other things :-)

How to enable HSS in slave mode in godox v860ii? I am using godox x2t as trigger
