Compute flash guide number from distance and aperture, or derive the correct aperture for a given flash-to-subject distance.
GN 通常以 ISO100 标定。
| Item | Formula / Rule | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom dependence | Guide numbers rise as the head zooms toward telephoto positions | ISO 2827:1988 Photography — Electronic flash equipment |
| Bounce distance | For bounce flash the path is ceiling distance plus ceiling-to-subject, then N = GN ÷ d | ISO 2827:1988 light output determination |
| High-speed sync | High-speed sync pulses the tube, so effective GN drops sharply at faster shutters | ISO 2827:1988 light output determination |
