Flash with selectable GN
I think I remember an Nissin flash unit where you could chose from several
Guide Numbers (GN) on the back of the unit. I know most flashes are automatic today, but does anyone know of a flash in production today that has a choice of GNs? Thank you, Steve |

Thank you, Steve Any flash unit which as Manual mode and variants (M/2, M/4, M/8) is inherently allowing control. Or, any unit which combines ISO setting and also selection of shooting f/stop on the camera lens is also inherently providing similar control. Metz has both capabilities, for one brand example. The controls you're mentioning are related to automatic flash. I looked into it a little more and there are some flashes that have 1/2, 1/4, 1/16 outputs in manual mode. Any models anyone could recommend? Thank you |

It has nothing to do with Auto, and the Metz flashes have that setting, as I said in the original response I provided. Sorry, I misunderstood the nomenclature. Thank you |
