Yeah indeed, my Metz 50MZ-5 works this way too. In fact, I had never even considered that any flash would deliberately limit use of A mode before. Hmm, another thing to consider for my next flash... I assume the 540FGZ has the same limitation in this regard? - Peter -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
