Tip of the Week: Use NiMH Batteries in your flash

If you use your off-camera flash a lot your going to go through batteries, so try using nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries.  They recycle faster than alkaline batteries and you can recharge them quickly.

For more Flash tips and learning, sign up for our “Basics of Camera Flash” with Ron Brewer on Thursday, January 7th from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.
