Hi,

Please dont think im thick. Just a newbie.

Am i right in thinking a flashgun's main benefit is to enable you to take pics further away whilst still getting the same amount of light on that persons face?
Any other benefit?

Cheers
 
More light, but also you can control which direction the flash points in, so you can bounce it off surfaces, ceilings etc, to give much more flattering light! Then you can use multiple flashes to do all kinds of things controlled wirelessly!

Well its the Samsung GX10 and the Samsung SEF-36PZF flashgun.

It says its wireless so would i just hold it in my hand to bounce the light off say a ceiling?

They can be used in very sunny conditions too. The idea is to reduce the contrast between the highlights and shadow.

Been to a wedding and saw the photographer using his flash. His had the swivel and he kept tilting it to the left slightly and slightly up with the pull out to bounce the light off.

Mine doesnt have tilt. Would i get the same effect just tilting it up slightly (so as not to overlight the faces)?
