You're right, I also believe this is the reason for the FP mode being OFF by default. But in most cases the loss in flash output should not be a problem, since high-speed sync is not used in poor lighting. The FP mode is used mostly for fill-in flash in strong lighting with the aperture wide open (for example when you take a portrait in strong sunlight and you want the background to be blurred). * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
