I need to use my 5D with a Speedlite 550EX in a large school hall to take images of an event. I know from past experience that the flash will struggle with the shutter/aperture combination that I need to use with the distance that I may have to be from the performers.
My question is this: If the flash is already doing its best under the circumstances will it effectively be firing at the same intensity as using manual flash. In other words, can I get ‘more’ by using manual flash (at 1/1) and setting up the camera accordingly?
