When using flash in (Hy)P or Av with an F or

The Z-1p seems more than a stop more optimistic about what's
hand-holdable. Now I _am_ getting better at hand-holding, butnot in the
situations I tend to use P-mode...
I've just checked my 1p, and it seems to be the same (i.e. for a
f.l. of 28mm the speed chosen was 1/20, with the 24-90 around 50
the speed changed - while rotating slightly the zoom ring -
between 1/45 and 1/30). Is it the same or the speeds your camera
sets are slower?
Hi Gianfranco,
Thanks for checking :o) It is about the same. On a FA 28-105 powerzoom:
1/20 @ 28, 1/30 @ 35, 1/45 @ 55, 1/60 @ 80 trough 105. Especially 1/60 at
105 has me a bit worried...
Furthermore, the internal flash symbol starts blinking rapidly
at focal
lenghts under 35mm. I thought the Z1-p's flash covered 28mm?
It depends on the form of the lens. With huge lenses you'll see
the symbol blinking even at longer focal lenghts (again, with
the 24-90 the symbol keeps blinking until the lens is around
40mm...), while with the FA 28/2.8 there's no problem at all.
The FA series (and I guess the F series too) tells the body
about the safe range for the RTF (you'll probably will have
different results - but not too much - with the MZ-50 in this
regard because the flash stands a bit higher than in the Z-1p).
Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that. The FA 28-105 powerzoom isn't exactly
small ;-) I'll check with the FA 28-70/4 tonight: that might be better.
Are you able to check it with a 28mm prime (F or FA)?
No, I do not have a 28mm. Besides: almost all my primes are manual focus.
I'm quite sure that your Z-1p is working normally.
I thought it'd be me. Thanks for the confimation. Now I just need to
transplant the plastic part around the lens mount from my Z-1 to the Z-1p
(it's cracked). I hope it simply comes loose with the two screws in the
prism housing...
Well, almost... :-)
Huh?
