If there's a step function in the output of the flash, though, and "over 48" gets stepped down and _up to_ 48 does not get stepped down, it's quite possible that 48 would result in blown highlights while 58 wouldn't. Why this is happening goes back to the usual "evil algorithm vs hardware fault" question. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
