Thanks for the translation Michel.. I'm sure all the information will come in handy one day. I don't think I'm going to venture into making my own just yet though, but I might sometime down the road. Cheers, Ryan From: "Michel Carrère-Gée" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Ryan Lee a écrit: > > Salut Miche

Whoever's brave enough to answer Dave's query, could you also drop some info on how one would usually go about doing the settings for a remote slave flash (triggered by the popup, no TTL). If it's a af360fgz tailored answer, even better! Thx, Ryan - Original Message - From: "Dave Miers"

Ryan, ordinary plastic flash clip will do, no real need for one with pentax name on it. The important thing is that the surface of the clip that comes in contact with flash pins is all plastic so the shortcutting among pins cannot occur. I use one that I bought in a local photo store, it can b
