To the best of my knowledge the pop-up flash is always in either pre-flash auto mode, or wireless control mode. There is no way to use it as a simple dumb flash. I often rely on this when shooting flash, as I set the exposure manually so as to control the ambient exposure, and let the auto flash control the light on the subject. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
