Cleveland, Ohio Lines: 20 I have several small questions for the experts. I am looking for an electronic flash unit for my Canon AE-1. I would like to buy a dedicated unit. What I would like to know is what is meant my dedication. Does the camera instruct the flash as to the duration and the strength of the flash light? This would probably require a focal plane photodetector to measure the light falling on the film. I am not sure if Canon AE-1 has such a feature. Can I leave the camera on automatic when the dedicated flash is mounted? I would appreciate recommendations on what the best flash for this camera is. I usually do indoor photography when working with a flash. The one feature I would like on my flash is a tilt head. I am willing to spend about $100. Thanks.
