I've had many flashes over the years. The AF540 is definitely among my favorites. I've never used it in manual mode. Since I can dial in over and under exposure comp on the flash, I see no need to use it manually. Don't know if it's capable of that or not. But my two AF 540s are definitely reliable and powerful units. Used a Sigma 530 Super for a while. Now that was the flash from hell. Paul On Mar 8, 2010, at 11:40 AM, Larry Colen wrote:
