The power setting on 200T is useful only in manual mode. It does nothing in TTL mode. On Z-1p, flash power can be altered on the camera. I do not think you can alter the TTL flash power with Super A/program. >If I rememeber, it seems that I also tended to get >quite a few red-eye shots with this flash. Raise the flash higher, or point the flash to the ceiling (must be white) can cure the problem, though not practical with 200T. >I should probably break it out and shoot some to see >how they turn out. Though this method is not for everyone, I often put a light diffuser on the lens when using flash indoor. The subjects will appear less harsh. Also, you can use manual flash and decrease the flash output by 1 f-stop (compensated by ambient light). For instance, I often use ISO400, 1/60s, f4, TTL flash output decreased by 1 stop (same with manual flash) in restaurants. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
