about how to edit my purchase order in another minute or two.
Didn't happen to me. I clicked "No" in the box on startup when it asked me if I
wanted to try the CC trial. Of course, the default is "Yes" ... Because they
want people to try it. If you were a marketing person, wouldn't you set it up

I don't see why you think this means it won't work with flash.
I'd expect the camera to be quite capable of triggering the flash
each time it 'opens' the electronic shutter. And, as I point out,
any high speed sync capable flash is capable of being triggered
multiple times during the 1/180 sec or
