Got slightly bad news for you, The *istD has a problem with TTL flash
metering. It tends to be off about 1 or more stops with any TTL flash.
To minimize the problem, set the ISO to 400 as there has been some
speculation on the board that it works best there. Also, I've been using
an auto-flash (Vivitar 285HV) with the camera set manually, and I get a
very good exposure. It is also speculated on that the AF360FGZ with
P-TTL works better than any other TTL flash.

We're waiting for a TTL bug fix in the next firmware update from Pentax.

Jeff.

Subject: AF 400T and *ist D?


Can the AF 400T flash be used with the *ist D. Can it be used in TTL
mode? Can it be used in TTL mode with K or M lenses? Paul
