Sorry Don didn't realise where you were heading with that

My point was that John said it could be done ! but he seems to have disappeared now without explaining how !! Whether I personally would want to or not, is another matter

With a RF trigger fitted (see title) there's only ONE contact in use, so if that doesn't fool the camera in to giving faster than 1/180, then I doubt anything will

If it could be done without HSS it would be handy for daylight fill, without special flash unit.

I used to be an avid reader of that blog Don

But how does that help here ?

I think you missed my previous answer to your post !?

>> Got several !! Don't help !? Only go above 1/180 in HS !?




and that still doesn't answer the question that John posed :
>> If you want to set an inappropriately high synch speed then you can do so using manual mode.

How ?? HSS works on more than just Manual !? So what other trick is there ?

Just tried in Manual mode (and Av, Tv) with RF trigger and still nothing above 1/180 !?

No X sync from camera it seems :

So what makes u think it will work ? Pentax flash or not ??

Got several !! Don't help !? Only go above 1/180 in HS !?

Not on my K20 !? It won't let me ??

Or am I missing something ?

Yes I follow that and agree ! maybe an option to turn off flash limiter ??

How do get a dark band in the sky ? shoot at dusk with camera upside down ?? the band does appear at the bottom normally, doesn't it ?

Surely, that's simply down to the mechanics of the shutter system !?
1/180 being the fastest without curtain overlap ! NOT a Pentax choice ??

That would be nice though I think most are less

Mine are very similar to these : link

Good at that price ! and 2 receivers !!
