Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Flash Guide Number Distance Calculator, formulas, and expected usage.
How do you calculate flash distance from guide number?
At ISO 100, divide guide number by aperture. For other ISO settings, multiply guide number by the square root of ISO/100 before dividing by aperture.
What does a flash guide number mean?
Guide number indicates flash power for manual exposure planning. A higher guide number generally means the flash can illuminate a subject farther away at the same aperture and ISO.
Why does ISO change effective guide number?
Increasing ISO makes the sensor more sensitive, so the same flash output can expose subjects at a greater distance. The relationship scales with the square root of ISO.
Does this replace test shots and light metering?
No. It is a fast starting estimate for manual flash setup. Modifiers, bounce, zoom head settings, and real scene conditions can change the final exposure.
