Hi I have an older flash for my praktica camera which I wondering if it'll work on my *istD. It's an Starblitz 2500 BTZ. It has only the center connector in the hotshoe and work as an auto-flash (light sensor on flash). I'm worried if the flashvoltage could damage the *istD. I've read on the net that newer pentax cameras can handle up to 600 Volt. Is this true for the *istD. And what about the other smaller connectors for data in the hotshoe, they may get in contact with the center pin. I measured the voltage on the centerpin on the flash to about 60Volt when the flash is charged. I talked to Pentax about it and their answer was that I only should use Pentax flashes (of course) and that modern pentax flashes could damage older pentax bodies. I've searched the net for info on this subject without much luck.
