Re: Sync voltage

[graywolf]

I think you do not have to worry with anything new enough to have TTL flash 
metering. What you do need to worry about are flashes that have been made for a 
long time like a Vivitar 283. Newish ones are OK, my old one has 250V across the 
sync terminals which can destroy electronic circuits in the camera. Evan my 
Norman 200B's are less than that at 200V. You can actually measure this with a 
digital volt meter which has a high enough internal resistance to no fire the 
flash. BTW, you do not want to use a sync cord with your flash meter on one of 
these either.

How do you measure this without triggering the flash?
I often use the AF280T. Could it harm the MZ-S?

Don't go over 5V ever on cameras like these.
