A pretty thorough reading of both the K20D and AF540FGZ manuals re: TCS reveals nothing. It is neither mentioned as doable or not doable. It does "imply" that it should work, but does not back that up in text or sync spec charts.
Nothing I do with the 540 can make the little "what mode am I in" symbol (when disconnected from the camera) change to anything other than the standard lightning-bolt, filled-in triangle, hollow triangle sequence which means "regular flash".
Best I could do was attach it to the camera with wireless mode (between on and off) selected and the hard switch on the 540 set to Trailing Curtain (bolt, hollow, filled) ... select menu on the K10D and immediately the flash said "hey, wait - I'm supposed to be in TCS mode!" and the symbol changed.
Then I pulled the flash right off the hotshoe (with everything still turned on).
The symbol immediately changed back to "bolt, filled, hollow" which is the standard mode.
I wonder if it can be done at all - methinks not! -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
