K10D and AF500FTZ

[Patrick Genovese]

Hi,

Has anyone managed to used the 500FTZ in manual mode with a K10D ?

Here's the problem i'm facing..

1. If I leave the flash in ttl mode than is simply puts out full power
flash bursts as expected since it does not support P-TTL.  So far so
good.

2. When i put the flash in Manual mode (press the mode button) and use
the adjust button to adjust the power level.  The power level adjusts
accordingly but as soon as i half press the shutter release to focus,
the flash automatically reverts to TTL mode and hencforth full power
bursts. It seems that the camera is commanding the flash back into ttl
mode.

Has anyone seen this behaviour or am i doing something wrong.

Is the behaviour the same on the DS / DL / K100 ?


Regards

Patrick Genovese

K10D and AF500FTZ Flash

[Mark Cassino]

I looked in the manual and it seems to only reference the newer FGZ 
flashes. Is the K10D compatible with the older TTL flashes, the like 
AF500 FTZ?  Has anyone tried out this combo?

Thanks -

Probably Aperture Priority, Since it is my most frequently used mode.

Re: K10D and AF500FTZ

[Boris Liberman]

Patrick, let me humbly suggest that you take it to fully manual (M)
mode and try again. It seems to me that any (semi)automatic mode
forces P-TTL automatics to engage.

Thank you for the tip ... It just did not cross my mind to try that...
 I do 90% of my shooting in Aperture priority mode but metered manual
will do fine.

I did just now.

Pentax K10D, FA 50mm f1.4, f5.6 @ 1/60, ISO 100, AF-540 FGZ (~111 kb)


Pentax K10D, FA 50mm f1.4, f5.6 @ 1/60, ISO 100, AF-500 FTZ (~160 kb)


Both shots the flash was pointing straight at the subject. No
compensation of any kind & no post processing other than convert to
sRGB & downsize (EXIF data included).

The K10D doesn't do TTL flash metering. This samples proves that the
500 fires at full power.

Cheers,

Dave (Please excuse the crap pictures)

Re: K10D and AF500FTZ Flash

[Tom Lesser]

All all EIs?  On the *istD at EI 400 I get typically usable exposures 
with a 500FTZ if the flash distance is over about 6 feet ... especially 
if shooting RAW.  But there was no consistency at EI 200 or EI 800.  
So, I mostly dial down the 500FTZ to a manual setting that works for 
the distance I'm shooting, and make minor aperture adjustments to 
compensate.

Thanks - that seems to be the case. I have an AF360FGZ so it looks like 
I'll be using that.

RE: K10D and AF500FTZ Flash

[Markus Maurer]

Hi Jostein
was it with older digital bodies that flash exposure was only correct at ISO
400 and under/overexposure occured at ISO 200/800
I remember reading something like that.

BTW do the new flashes focus assist (SB) on the K10D or ist the AF good
enough on its own?

Markus

Re: K10D and AF500FTZ Flash

[Paul Stenquist]

As far as I know, the K10D won't do TTL, so you have to use the flash  
in auto flash mode. I've used my AF400T with the K10D in autoflash  
mode, and it worked well.

Re: K10D and AF500FTZ Flash

[Paul Stenquist]

Does the AF-500 have an autoflash function? If so, it should work  
relatively well. Of course you can use the guide number as well, but  
full power isn't nice if you don't bounce it off of something.

Re: K10D and AF500FTZ Flash

[Thibouille]

I think one major drawback of the 500FTZ is it has no autocomputer possibility.
I may rememnber wrong but in my memry you either work TTL or full manual :(

One of the reason (having bodies not supporting TTL at that time) that
I went for Metz 40MZ2, years ago.

Re: K10D and AF500FTZ Flash

[Jostein Øksne]

Markus,
The K10D didn't make use of the focus assist in my case, but I don't
think the light was low enough to know for sure whether it doesn't
work.

There has indeed been a lot of writing on this forum about the
flash/ISO issue with the *istD, and most people find what you
describe.

RE: K10D and AF500FTZ Flash

[Jens Bladt]

Since the AF500FTZ does not have auto-computer IIRC, this flash is useless
with the K10D, except for manual calculations, naturallly.
To me this is a major issue, since I have several expensive TTL-flashes,
that I use with my *ist D. One of them is priced similar to the K10D body!

Re: K10D and AF500FTZ Flash

[Mark Cassino]

Thanks to all who replied.

No - the Af500FTZ does not have an auto function (the old-fashioned 
sensor in flash auto function.)

I have the AF 360FGT but it's been my main macro fash and has endured a 
good degree of knocking around, and does not have a tilt and swivel head 
(only a tilt head.) An upgrade may be in order..

thanks -
