I'm photographing runners at a local park run and would like to use a fill in flash to better light the runners. I have a Nikon D7000 with an SB-910 flash, I have
a reasonable understanding of the technical aspects of the camera but am a complete newbie/numpty when it comes to flash (and composition!).
I have the flash set to TTL but the problem seems to be that when I press the shutter button there is a significant delay, probably only a
second or so but seems a long time, before the picture is taken. I assume the delay is due to the flash pre-flashing in order to get the
light settings correct unfortunately because I'm trying to shoot a relatively fast moving subject I'm finding it difficult to get the composition correct.
I was wondering if I set the flash to manual mode would it flash immediately I pressed the shutter button with no delays. All I would
have to do is set the flash output power level beforehand and then take the picture.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
