I would venture to guess that you will get a lot more shots in the cold with non-rechargable lithium batteries. At least that is what I find with my d-p&s.

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)?

Emne: RE: Z-series feature I miss on the ist D


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
