Hello,
I was wondering if anynone might be able to help me with my flash.
I bought a Vivitar thyrisistor 2800 flash awhile back, and I don't have
instructions for it, and I conveniently forgot what its functions are.
On the front of the flash there is a three position switch, where the three

Artur,
I think it is a problem if the camera shoots at, say, 1/30th, because at
that speed the ambient light will affect the final photo, almost regardless
of what aperture I set. It's quite possible to have a situation where there
isn't enough light to shoot at 1/500th, which means I hav

Yeah, what Chris said. To sum up, it depends on the ambient light
level. The camera sets a faster sync speed in brighter light and a
slower on in dim light in order to (attempt to) balance the flash and
ambient light better.
