How to use manual flash on a dslr?

i want to buy one of those flashes that hook to the top of a DSLR. (i have a nikon d3200)
I'm saving money and buying a cheap one that is manual only, no TTL. I've never used a flash before, not even the one built in the camera.

i want to know how you know what brightness to use on the flash, and what aperture, iso, and shutter speed to use to correctly expose a picture.

and I'm not doing studio portraits. I need more light for things like taking a picture at a birthday party or something. I'm going to be in situations where i can't take 5 photos and mess with the flash in-between and change settings with each shot. One, two photos, with hardly any time wasted is what i need, but i also need to expose correctly with a manual flash and i don't know how to do it.

the flash i want to buy is called "DBK DF-400 Flash Speed light". Its on Amazon.

so how do you know how to get correct exposure with this flash?

i tried googling it but all the tutorials on google and youtube are pretty bad. And i need things explained very simple.

Why is my compact shooting terrible videos at 720p HD?

I have a Nikon L27 compact camera, and I'm trying to shoot videos with it. I've set the setting to 720p (this appears to be the highest resolution setting), and on the 2.7 inch display screen it looks fine… Although that could be because the screen is so small. However simply transferring the files to my computer and watching them fullscreen there (keeping in mind that my screen is only 10.1 inches!) they look really, really grainy and awful. Why is this and how can I fix it? Also are there any fairly cheap camcorders you could recommend?

Best SHTF rifle for urban/suburban setting?

So many to choose from. If you could only chose one rifle for a suburban broad based SHTF scenario, what would it be?

I'm near the Gulf Coast and had the pleasure of riding out Katrina with a Sears double barrel shotgun (Savage?) and a Sig 9mm. I carried that sig everywhere. Then I got a Romanian AK clone that was ok, but later sold it bc although dead nuts reliable, it wouldn't hit Minute of Basketball accurately.

Now, I have two AR15s in 223, one is extra lightweight, lots of Magpul, iron sights only, but with a flashlight quick detach; another with EAo Tech and cheapo flip to side 3 power magnifier and heavier barrel. I also have a wicked sweet M1A shorty, very nice. And a Rem 700 deer rifle in 30-06, w nice Nikon scope.

What should I keep in the trunk of my car? What should I keep by my bedside? I have a SW 9mm in the car now, a Glock 40 cal in my bedside nightstand, but a rifle seems better for SHTF.

Anyways, I definitely appreciate everyone's opinions and advice. Thanks!

I've an av cable for Nikon camera. Can I use this cable for my pc?

I want to use the male cord side of the cable to plug in pc and other sides to the TV. As camera's side is too small for any port of pc, but if the cord's wire can be rebuild to hdmi or usb (i'm not sure which signal's it use), can this method will do? If yes, How to build it?

How to get more photography clients? Details inside?

I've been doing photography for about 6 months. I know that's a short time and I know everyone and their dog thinks they are a pro photographer these days. However, I do get clients, just not very many and not very consistently. I get an occasional engagement shoot and I've booked two weddings and shot one so far. My facebook page is facebook.com/marqellealexanderphotography I've seen another girl ask this and get berated and I'm just here for constructive criticism. If you were looking for a photographer and came across me, what would make you pass me up. I charge 120 for family, friends, maternity, and newborn pictures.ni charge 80 just for single pictures. And I was charging 400 for weddings but had to stop doing weddings due to my work schedule. What jumps out at you negatively or positively? Btw I have a Canon Rebel XS that I haven't used yet. The photos on my site were with my nikon D50

What should I do if my camera is still not focusing properly after a service?

I got a Nikon d7000 for Christmas and noticed it wasn't focusing properly. It's all over the place. I use single point focus and put it right on the subject and it is not even close to sharp. I've reset the camera, sent it in to be looked at, tried adjustments on the lens (can't think of the term right now). I previously had a d5000 and never once had a problem. At what point will Nikon just give me another new camera? If they couldn't fix it the first time i don't feel that they will this time. It's very noticeable to me. Can anyone shed some light please?
