Pat, When using TTL, the flash cutoff is controlled by the camera. The sensor in the camera is reading light of the film plane and so the ISO setting on the flash is irrelevant. The flash setting is only needed when you are using the flash in Auto mode. Bruce Thursday, November 14, 2002, 6:

>How do you guys cheat the PZ1-p to do Slow Flash? I think I can answer that. I checked the manual and it mentioned, with F and FA lenses, the Z-1p can determine the focal length and chose the slowest shutter speed. For instance, with FA43/1.9, Z-1p chose 1/30x. With A35/2.8 or 50/1.7, it chos

I have never used TTL flash in program mode much so I have never paid much attention to this feature. Until yesterday, I have discovered the auto aperture would be set quite differently by two different flashes - Metz 40MZ3i and Pentax AF200T. With the 40MZ3i, the chosen aperture was f2 while
