I swore I thought this was titled "fire a fish at 1/1000 sec". -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jens Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 3:38 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: How can I fire a flsh at 1/1000 secs?
In order to solve the problem described below, I wonder if it is at all possible to fire a flash at 1/1000 secs? I have discovered, that if I fire the camera at 1/1000 secs a split second after activating the RTF, it will actually fire, as long as the RFT is not fully charged yet. Is there a way to engage such a function - for instance in a mode designed for strobo flash functions? Regards Jens -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
