What is the trigger circuit?

The trigger is an electronic device used in the photo to activate or trigger external or additional lightning units. When using such additional or filler flash units, it is essential for the camera and external lightning units to fire exactly the same moment. This is usually achieved using a trigger circuit that fires all additional flashes simultaneously with the camera flash. This allows the bright, without shadow images to be fired in conditions where the harsh primary lighting causes the area of ​​the object into the deep shadow. There are two basic types of trigger circuits: synchronized output circuit and Slave circuit.

It is often said that photography is the art of successful capture of light. Unfortunately, this is not an easy task, because the camera is less sensitive as the human eye in terms of the description of fine differences in light intensity. So even if we can clearly see the model in the studio or the subject of the wilderness, the photograph taken from the same subjekt can be destroyedDetailed shadows. The best way to face this deficiency is to use filler lighting and flashes to even light the subject. The use of natural or static studio lighting is easy to manage because the lights are constantly on, but the lightning panels need to be synchronized with the triggering circuit to make it effective.

The basic trigger circuit works on the principle of creating a connection or perimeter between an external flash and a trigger source. When an initial command is sent from the source, the external flash unit fires. The synchronized circuits are connected to external lightning units and directly with a port or syncro connector on the camera itself. The internal circuits of the camera then become the source of the trigger and when the on -board flash fires, it will also shoot external lightning units.

The

Slave Trigger Circuits have no direct connection with The Camera and DrawnEte their trigger source from external sensors. The most common of these is the trigger sensitive to the photo, which uses a photo sensor that reacts to light from the main flash of the camera to start external flashes. Another type of circumference of the Slave trigger circuit uses an audio sensor to activate the shutter of the camera and firing flash together and is commonly used in applications such as nature.

Many best professional cameras allows you to apply several settings to their Syncro outputs, providing a photographer's great flexibility regarding lighting settings. The launching of the launching slaves also ranges from the basic units to sophisticated professional modules that allow more control over how the unit triggers the filling. However, all types are the essential parts of professional photographers' facilities and allow consistent, high quality results in and outside the studio.
