Neurodance 2.8 shooting : thoughts
Aside from not being able to use the AF assist tool at close distances (at longer distances, the beam reached the center AF point), it seems that the PocketWizard TT1 flash trigger affects the functionality of my AF assist tool. The behavior seems to be: the beam work for the first photo, and then will not work if the AF-ON button is pushed right away. Maybe it was the number of new tools I was trying out, maybe it was my energy level, maybe it was the alignment of the stars. I guess in retrospect I could have put a flash on top of the TT1 and tried using it’s AF assist beam… to try. I need to wait about 5 seconds before pushing the AF-ON (or 1/2 press the shutter button for that matter) before the beam will turn on again. The laser bean did not come on every time I pushed the AF-ON button on the camera like before. This hindrance alone totally messed up my work flow....
