K10D and P-TTL
I was playing with the same config at noon and I'm not sure what to think about it: everything powered up, flash in HS/P-TTL, Av mode but the speed stays at 1/180s, ISO is not changing automatically though it was set to, no under/overexposure indication. Then I switched to Tv, the same, speed could ...

Metz Mecablitz 45 CL-4
I make no apologies for resurrecting this thread but my wife has just bought me a Metz 45 CL3 off e-bay(regular flowers do work) It has no cables or adapters with it. After searching the forum index I realise it's limitations with the K10d. I've also searched the net in an attempt to find out what a...

AF360FGZ Flash with *istDL2
Hello it's me again. Can anyone please tell me what flash modes will work between the AF360 flashgun and the *istDL2 camera? The instruction manual for the DL2 is pretty vague, it only describes P-TTL mode with the AF360 on camera, and off camera using a 2nd AF360 mounted on camera. The manual...

Anyone tried Jessops 300AFD with the K10D ?
I got one too (you can get an extra £5 off if you Google for Jessops coupons/vouchers, makes it £45). It has no controls apart from on, first and rear curtain flash settings. Two LEDs, red for 'ready charged', green for 'auto is on'. It has the IR focus beam too. It's definitely not PTTL (expect...

Cobra d650 flash unit for pentax
Rob, Are you sure that's a Pentax hotshoe? The D650 had interchangeable hotshoes for different camera bodies. I do remember a tiny switch on the Pentax hotshoe... I think it controlled how the D650 talked back to the camera so it could behave like a really old dedicated flash, or like a TTL dedic...

Need simple directions for using AF-360FGZ with K10D
I like to use manual... however, I have found that using TAv with the ISO set between 100 and 1600 does a good job. (Use the Fn menu to set the ISO range.) With my custom settings at least, the viewfinder shows the ISO rating... and I'd work like this: * Set f/8 to start with * Set 1/60s (or arou...

AF540, AF360 or Jessops 360FGZ
Anyone know if Manual mode bypasses metering - does it behave differently than the pop-up flash in this regard?? The AF360/540 will flash once in the "M" mode (that's "M" on the flash). Additionally, if you temporarily switch the camera to "M" mode, you can select the ...

AF540, AF360 or Jessops 360FGZ
PVA, prit stick type stuff, superglue... Doesn't matter as long as it sticks... BTW I have the seam at the back of the flash where it won't affect the image as there is an overlapped tab for the glue. I used a dual layer bubble wrap with the flat side of the sheets against each other. You can ...

AF540, AF360 or Jessops 360FGZ
That's funny. I'm gonna try it... :lol: Getting back to the flash, here's one nutcase deal from Jessops: Google for a discount code and you might get another 25% off it too. I've got a huge bruise on my head and a hole in my wall since I bought the (pretty good) 300AFD for the same...

Wireles remote and sync speed on K10D?
I do get a minor darkness (more of a thin line of haze) at 1/160, but I'll have to wait for my DLites to get back from repair to see how they fare at that speed. Currently using off camera flashes. So maybe some issues there as well? I'll try replacing the transmitter battery as well and see if t...

Wireles remote and sync speed on K10D?
just a thought, I know the skyports were incompatable with vivitar 285HV (something to do with the length of the triggering pulse being too shoert to fire them) and a work around of soldering a cap into the pc cable (between reviever and flash) seemed to solve this problem). Linky with more detai...

pentax k10d flash query
can someone please advise whether my k10d is behaving properly. I have not been able to explain this from the manual I have used flash a lot on a Z1p with 28-105 FA lens and frequently use the Hyp mode. This enables one to alter the shutter speed up to 1/250 using the front dial irrespective of amb...

K20D with Sigma EF-500 DG Super
After you press the shutter half way, DON'T turn off the camera or flash, so they won't "forget" the info that was exchanged. If you have had your flash for a while, I'm pretty sure it needs to be re-chipped by Sigma. When I bought mine last October, I needed to send it back to be re-chi...
