Well first of all you'll have to move the flash off camera on a cold hot shoe, it will always revert back to TTL when connected to the camera unless your in "B" . The AF500FTZ works well in slave mode and the manual formula is F ( F stop on lens ) = GN @ iso ( flash guide # at zoom setting in meters or feet at films rated iso ) /D ( distance of subject in meters or feet ). This is for direct flash only so for example when the AF500 is set to 28mm zoom it has a Gn of 32m if the subject is 3m away you can manually set it to fire 1:1 power and you will need to set F = 32/3 or F11 aprox. --- Andy Vu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear list, > I�ve been using this flash under TTL and > it works fine with > my pz-1p.
