What kind of batteries were they? I found that my DS2 packed it in with a half-full set of NiMH 2500 AAs in a hockey arena -- going back to a warmer area the camera continued to shoot for a long time on that set. Luckily, I travel with multiple sets.

I did my first action shots. The *ist D/FA 80-200mm behaved quit well (using
AF).
My shots were heavily overexposed (my fault) but not too bad otherwise. I
was positively surprised. Except my batteries kept dying on my ;-/
I don't have a battery grip - and the recharables were too weak.
Would it help to use a battery grip - or is it the same problem with rather
cold batteries (it's 4-6 degrees Celsius here)?

Yes, but it's the camera's contrast control mode.

That's right.  Works brilliantly on the PZ-1p;
don't
know about the SFXn.  Nice even lighting, no
shadows,
and much more natural-looking than bounce flash
alone,
IMHO.

 Hi Rick
 And with that setup did you just let both Flash
at
 TTL setting and no
 further corrections for indoor shots?
 Frankly I haver never used the build in flash on
the
 SFXn alone or in
 combination so far, would be interesting.
 I guess there has to be a minimal distance of
about
 1.5 meters to get good
 results and to not overexpose faces?

 greetings
 Markus
