Maybe it doesn't even need a drink or a smoke for a blackout Jens ;-) The "blackouts" showed as heavily underexposed photos later on the computer, on the LCD of the K10D they appeared completely black. One of the problems with small objects and close-ups and auto flash is pointing the sensor precisely, I must have missed that on some of the test shots. greetings Markus

I still do not understand the blackouts I get sometimes but the first flower macros with the Pentax AF280T look promising for me :-) greetings Markus -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jens Bladt Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 11:20 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: RE: K10D and fill flash Paul, David, Markus. Thanks. I guess flash compensation is easy if are not using TTL. I just have to make the flash believe that my ISO value is higher than it is. The flash will put out less light. With P-TTL iit's easy too, because compensation can be dialled in to the flash unit. This is kind of easy to remember, I suppose.

F8 on the flash, f11 on the camera. Senility strikes again. Paul On Mar 8, 2007, at 2:54 PM, David Oswald wrote: > Paul Stenquist wrote: >> On the AF 560FGZ you can dial in flash compensation.
