How is that set? Or checked?
It's the slider at the bottom of the 540, on the back (between the select button/dial and the on/off switch) - labelled "sync". The four positions are: o Leading Curtain Sync o Trailing Curtain Sync o Contrast Control Sync o High Speed Sync One other possible interaction: for wireless mode, don't forget you can set the flash output of the 540 to full, 2/3, 1/2, or 1/3. (refer to pages 18, 32 & 36 of the 540FGZ operating manual :-) -- 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.
