Using Metz 36 AF-5 Digital Flashgun for Canon with good results on automatic but can't sort out re' flash factor which on the secification indicates 36. I admit I'm of the old school, is that in metres? Can't find any site that will guide me that way. My old flash units (film days) had tables in feet with flash guides on the back or sometimes literature explaining. Just want to be more in control of the flash unit. I'm sure by throwing this in the den I will get an answer (wondering what my "simple" problem is) :roll:
