Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on the pentax 200fg flash. I've never used and external flash, would this be a good starting point. I'm not wanting to spend a lot just incase its not for me.
Yongnuo YN560's are cheap, fairly powerful (much more than the dorr) and easy to operate as well as having lots of control (of both power and anglege)... I'd say they're the perfect starter flash...

So when doing 'AF Fine Adjustment' ('c' menu 26) and folowing RiceHigh's guide one should be testing in Liveview mode yes?

Sorry... Just to go back to RiceHigh's article for a second...

In his (3) he says to "do the live view CDAF"

What's CDAF???
Thats what I wanted to know but in fear of sounding like a complete prat I just clicked off the page and left it
My old man always said "If you don't know the answer, ask the question"

Besides which, this lot are used to me looking like a turnip...

Thinking it has something to do with contrast detection - but unsure how to do a 'contrast-detected-auto-focus' is it just simply 'use AF'?

Somebody?
