I've been using the Pentax 540 FGZP-TTL flash on the K10D. I shot a wedding (about 300 frames) without a single blink. I also shot that exercise class the other night, again without blinks. Exposures were good. However, I shoot mostly candids and rarely tell anyone to look at the camera. Paul On Feb 24, 2007, at 2:00 AM, Bruce Dayton wrote:
