Advice #1: practice with it as much as you can, before you need it for real. Setup a test subject and try shooting it with the flash at different angles, heights and distances from the subject to see the effect. Try P-TTL to see how it behaves. It may work attached to the camera but not wirelessly

TTL doesn't work on the latest Pentax digital cameras. I think it went away after K10, but I'm not sure. PTTL is the later version of through the lens auto control, and it works to a certain extent. Combined with a flash compensation setting, which your flash probably has, it can work quite well

OT: Flash enablement

Well, a couple of weeks after my little financial windfall at work, I finally decided I should use some of the money to join the flash photography world. So, I went down to the local brick-and-mortar camera shop in town and picked up this: http://www.amazon.com/Promaster-7500EDF-Digital-Flash-

Amazon keeps sending me stuff about the K-5

Every time I do I poke around a bit. It just hit me. Amazon shows the list price of the K-5 as 1099.00 and the K-5II as, wait for it, 1099.00... That just seems wrong somehow. -- There are two kinds of computer users those who've experienced a hard drive failure, and those that will. -- PD

I love the detail in the wood bench. It's interesting how transit station seating has evolved, but that rail company has kept this uncomfortable but solid furniture. It's in keeping with Dave's steam trains. On Thu, May 30, 2013 at 9:52 AM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > In the waiting room, Penn Sta
