Then your shutter needs a CLA. It's no longer accurate. Try 1/15 or 1/30 and see if they work. william Donovan wrote: > > hI- IT WAS SET ON 60X--LOOKS TO ME LIKE A LEAK SOME WERE.

Yes, the PZ-1 has 1/250 as well. Perhaps the contrast control was still on, or the switch to trailing shutter or so.

Re: HELP, HELP: Z-1 won't sync at 1/250!
Perhaps you have engaged the trailing curtain synchro at the AF 500 FTZ. In such case, the camera can't sync faster than 1/125. Have a look at the back of your flash, and set it to first curtain sync and (hopefully) you'll get th1 1/250 speed.

Re: HELP, HELP: Z-1 won't sync at 1/250!
Richard, Are you sure the flash synch on the Z-1 is 1/250? If you are sure, put it in shutter priority and set it to 1/250th. If that doesn't work, put it into manual mode and set to 1/250th. I was thinking that the flash synch was one of the differences between the Z-1 and the Z-1p.
