Hmm.. I mean Slave, rather than Sync.
I want to use my AF-500FTZ as a slave to the *istDS, the pre-flash on the camera causes problems (triggers the AF-500FTZ) before the actual photo is taken.

Hello,
Just got a shiny new *istDS, and have a question. My amateur studio setup has been based on cordless flash sync - ie: When the camera flash goes off, the other flashes trigger automagically - based on the light increase.
My problem is that the *istDS does a pre-flash to get the right exposure. This unfortunately triggers the external flash on the pre-flash, meaning I don't actually capture the 'off-camera' flash.
This has worked well with my Canon S40 - where you can pre-trigger the flash and do the exposure, and then take the photo with a single flash pulse.
Is there any way to ensure the flash trigger only once when taking a photo.
Regards,
Matthew
