OK. That's all true but what it has to do with a problem that Jeff described: > > > Using the flash, there > > > seems to be a long time delay between the mirror > > > moving up and the shutter > > > actually firing.

What you wrote is exactly how flashes work - full power on manual and power adjusted to the needs when in auto. But how would it affect the time between raising mirror and firing a shutter? To Jeff - although I don't know the explanation to your problem (I use Pentax 201SA flash and nothing like this ever happened to me) there is a possitive part of it. Your MZ-M has a mirror prefire right now! :-) Maciej ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Zobacz Błękitną Planetę... jest cudowna, zadziwiająca, tajemnicza!
