Re: P-TTL flash.

I've been shooting with Godox lighting gear for about 5 years now. And petitioning them to give full P-TTL support and HSS to Pentax - and was over the moon when they did. The TT350p is an awesome little flash in itself (it's a lovely size physically) and a perfect cost effective gateway in to a

What the ist-D will do is not allowing plain TTL however which is annoying since the body does indeed support it. All DSLR and PTTL capable bodies will make Pentax flash act this way. A solution is using Mets flashes. On Sat, Jun 28, 2008 at 8:01 PM, John Francis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On S

No. If the flash thinks it is connected to a camera that can talk P-TTL, there's no way to set the flash to "A". You can try to do it - it might even appear to work when you look at the LCD panel on the flash. But the first time you half-press the shutter on the camera the flash will switch to P

I have tried my 360FGZ on my superA. It always defaults to P-TTL despite the camera not supporting P-TTL. The flash will however use Analog TTL with the superA despite the lcd showing P-TTL. The SuperA doesn't have the "digital" contact. Looks like you will either have to send it back or press t

Can you set the flash to the A position with the mode button? If you can, there is no need to try and cover up any pins. Just make sure the Iso matches what the camera is set to. Maybe the apateur as will if camera is in AV mode. James On Thu, 26 Jun 2008 17:30:49 -0500, Charles Robinson wrote

Looks like you're in SL2 mode (at least that's what it's called on the 540). This puts the flash into A or M flash mode with wireless. See if you can put the flash into SL1 mode which provides P-TTL wireless. Switching between these two modes on the 540 requires holding the light/format button for

Should be P-TTL. Make sure the flash is in slave mode. Make sure both camera and flash are set to the same channel. Fn menu should be set to wireless and there's also a custom setting for firing the built in flash as master or controller. Mine works fine in P-TTL in Av mode both in master and cont

All TTL ambient metering is based an assumption of reflectivity of the subject. The pre-flash is done to actually measure the reflectivity on the camera's axis, of the flash. It's as good as you can get without and incident reading flash meter. BTW, there are a number of situations where pre-fla

Nope. The camera has no idea how the flash will bounce due to the reflectivity of the surroundings without the preflash. Even with the flash pointing straight ahead, some of the sideways light may bounce off the walls/ceiling. > -Original Message- > From: Lon Williamson [mailto:[EMAIL PR

If I'm not mistaken, the AF360FGZ, operates P-TTL only in multi segment metering mode. Without checking it out, I would also think it would work as P-TTL in bounce position. It will also operate P-TTL wireless and with high speed sync. Bill KG4LOV [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message ---

Re: P-TTL?

P-TTL, if I'm not mistaken, would be 'pre'-TTL in which a brief pre flash is emmited to allow the camera to better judge the proper exposure of a flash picture. Similiar to systems that Big C & N already have. This feature would be great for portraiture but useless for anything photojournalistic w
