TTL Flash into Manual Flash: Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

If you're looking for convenience, TTL flash is as simple as point and shoot. But if you need consistent results shot after shot, manual flash is the way to go. The TCM button on Flashpoint and Godox transmitters is an easy way to get the best of both and in this video Gavin Hoey shows you how it works.
Starting with a single light, Gavin shows you why you might need the TCM function and how to set it up for either one flash or multiple flashes. He then goes on the explain how TCM helps him get perfect exposure on shallow depth of field portraits using high speed sync flash in his small home studio.

I've owned my Godox gear for about a year and a half. After this video, I might actually start using the TCM function finally. This is the clearest explaination and demonstration of it that I have found. Thank you, sir!

Everybody with their R2 transmitter: Oh, that's what that button is for! Thank you Gavin for showing us how to utilize that function to make the most of high-speed sync.

I have the same equipment and use TCM all the time, but it was still a reassuring pleasure to see you explain it! And I didn’t know about the need to set it to the 200j, so thanks! Hope you keep creating fantastic content during the lockdown and that you and Sam stay healthy and safe.

Good demo and beautiful model. Please thank her for me. This demonstration helped me clarify a few things about the TCM button that I wasn't getting by reading the manuals. I guess something was being lost in the Chinese to English conversion. Many thanks for making this video easy to understand. It was a big help. I wish I had found it sooner.

Hi Gavin, that’s a fantastic video and the fact this works with high speed sync is especially useful as like you say a light meter doesn’t do it. Always love seeing your videos. I’d love to see some more specific editing videos on how you post process your portrait shots you have such a great painterly look to your final images. Thank you and I hope you and your family are staying safe with everything going on 🙏

Another top tutorial Gavin. I prefer a flash meter because I rarely use TTL in studio but TCM is very useful for event shooting where I use TTL ( with flash compensation ) a lot. As you say, it's another tool to help you do the job 👍

No flash meter, one 30" umbrella, and just desire, no experience. I'm beginning to think I might already have a studio with that equipment, LOL. Thank you! ⭐x5

Wow this so informative. I just bought a Canon 250D only to find out ut doesn't have a center pin to trigger my Godox Xpro on manual mode. This information will help me as Im going to use TTL mode with exposure compensation for my portraits photoshoots. Also with the help of high speed sync to reduce overexposure. Thank you very much your videos are si helpful Sir.
