With old manual cameras, the Mamiya 6 and 7, or modern cameras frozen in in the 1950s like LEICA, fill flash is also easy.
Fill flash was a royal pain with manual flashes. You had to do five minutes of math for each shot. We won't do that.

Steep learning curve: In addition to needing the knowledge required to operate a fully manual camera, view camera operators must understand a large number of technical matters that are not an issue to most small format photographers.
You can get a manual camera with at least a good 35mm. This will allow you to set your exposure easily. On the other hand, you may opt for a digital camera too. Now what you are probably wondering right now is what resolution and pixels to get?
There once was a time that most photographers learned to shoot using a fully manual camera and black and white film. In the digital age though, B&W is often merely an effect applied after the fact to images originally shot in color.
The best approach is manual camera settings. Start with Program mode with Bracketing. When you have an understanding of exposure, move back to manual. In Manual mode, use partial or evaluative metering to get a light reading for your subject.
Pictures taken with a camera on autofocus, however, can lack some of the features associated with manual camera photos.
Experts also recommend a manual camera. This is because of the long exposures that need to be taken. Take note that the battery can drain quickly in most new DSLR cameras when the exposure is set in auto mode and long exposures are needed.
well i know there are different kinds of cameras like manual cameras where you can adjust aperture and shutter speed. i think these are tips for digital slr cameras than can adjust these settings.
I want to thank David again for this shot. It demonstrates a grasp of manual camera settings that can take quite some time to learn.
And to everyone else, please keep sending me your photos. I enjoy writing these as much as you enjoy reading them! ...
At the end of Lesson 2, Part C, you were asked a question about why fully manual cameras have shutter speeds LOWER than 1/60 of a second. Here is the answer:
2.8 Slow Shutter Speeds
and Long Exposures
Here's the Answer You Were Waiting For...
However, most light meters don't read very low light levels and most manual cameras such as the Nikonos III have 1/30th second as the slowest shutter speed.

How to Choose Film Speed for a Manual Camera
How to Convert Film Speed From Scheiner to ISO
Some vintage camera equipment uses Scheiner numbers for film speed.
X SETTING - Shutter speed setting at which flash synchronization occurs. For some manual cameras, the X setting designates the maximum shutter speed at which the camera synchronizes with flash.
X-SYNC - Same as "X Setting" ...
For older manual camera, the X synch speed usually refers to the maximum speed that the camera can have its shuttle curtain open long enough to synchronise with the flash.
-X setting (X sync) is the setting that causes the flash to burst in synchronization with the shutter. For some manual cameras, the X synch speed refers to the maximum speed that the camera can synchronize with the flash.

On manual cameras, the light meter produces a display in the viewfinder to indicate the correct camera settings. You must then set the camera controls to get the correct exposures.
For those with a manual camera system, try moving the strobe closer, then farther away. It is much better to work out these exposure variables on a static subject so that when the squid swims by you can make it count.
Most focusing is done with the lens open, or at the lowest aperture setting possible. Focusing is done easier at this stage. Many of the automatic SLR cameras today do not have the DOF preview feature while many of the older manual cameras do have ...
We've seen it and the results ruin the affected photographs. How can you minimize this possibility in cold weather? Advance your film carefully. With a manual camera, advance the film slowly. With an autowind camera, shoot only one frame at a time.
