Using my hotshoe flash at a night football game


I just bought a flash to use at night for football games. It is a Quantaray PZ-1 DSZ for Minolta. I am not sure whether to use the TTL or Manual setting. I dont' think my camera has a TTL setting, but I'm not sure how to use it on Manual. Is there a general setting to use from 5 feet to 60 feet? Will it sense that for me, or is that what TTL is all about? HELP!

  Check your guide # for your Flash and use this formula. GN/Distance=F stop. needless to say if your in the nosebleed section your flash might not reach the subject your shooting, also try useing a fast film like 800.hope I was of some help. Harold White
