Hello. Judging from this site the voltage of the flash is 6.7. I know that its compatable with my zx-7, but do you guys think itll work on the k10? it has only one prong, not really sure what that means but dont most of them have 4? also im interested in using it off the camera with a sync cord attached, i have an idea how to do this but what are some good brands to use for this purpose as far as hotshoe adapters and sync cords, relatively long ones?
Thanks in advance.

It will work fine in manual mode. All flashguns are triggered by the big contact in the middle; the others are to allow the camera and flashgun to communicate and do all sorts of trickery.Hello.

For off-camera flash you will need a pc cord and a hotshoe adapter with pc socket. Simple and cheap.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help. I've been trying out the auto bracketing, but cannot get it to switch off. The LCD screen says it is off after following the instructions as per the manual, but I still get 3 frames every time I take a pic. Any ideas?
thanks,
peter
Removing the battery for a while sometimes helps with problems of this sort. Try leaving it out tonight, and putting it back tomorrow.Hi,

I read somewhere, perhaps here, that medium format lenses dont need to be as sharp as their 35mm equivalents because of the larger film size but I would have thought the opposite would need to be the case. Does anyone know?
I don't know why you would expect the opposite to be true. It stands to reason that a larger negative needs less enlargement, and therefore does not need to be so sharp.I read somewhere, perhaps here, that medium format lenses dont need to be as sharp as their 35mm equivalents because of the larger film size but I would have thought the opposite would need to be the case.

I do have a query with it though. How do you get it too remain shooting Raw without having to press the button each time The only menu reference i could find allows it to remain shooting raw but it also duplicates each shot with a jpeg Silly setting if you ask me
The purpose of the button is so that, if you have the camera set to save as JPEG by default, you can very simply save a RAW file without having to go into the menu. No doubt this is a useful feature for some people.I do have a query with it though.

PS: I have to admit that while I KNOW the *ist D recycles after 10,000, it is possible that the K10D goes to 100,000.
So it might have done 100,200 pics.
Given that the absolute shutter count is embedded in the Makernotes section of the EXIF tag in every image the camera produces it's not at all difficult to see how many shutter actuations the particular camera has done.Quote:
I think i got a pretty good deal its only taken 200 pics, almost new.
Or 10,200, or 20,200, or 90,200. After 10,000 pics it starts again at 0.I think i got a pretty good deal its only taken 200 pics, almost new.

But i doubt it very much i got the sales reciept with it and its only 8 weeks old. And don't tell me he may have snapped off 100,000 shots by sitting up at nights pressing the shutter

It seems to me that 160th is a tad optimisitic to get a shake free shot with a 200mm lens
That will depend on whether SR is off or on.It seems to me that 160th is a tad optimisitic to get a shake free shot with a 200mm lens

Aye, says I. Keep 'em coming.

The A20/2.8 is now sold.
The final item in my clearout is my K50/1.2 (f1.2 rather than f2.0).
Now I have Wintoid's A50/1.2, I don't need this one any more
It's in very good condition cosmetically (no marks or scratches). The optics are clean and fungus free, however there is some (very) slight discolouration to the coating on the front and back elements. It doesn't affect picture quality as far as I can tell because the performance is almost identical to the A50/1.2 (rather disappointingly ).
I was thinking around £75 for this one.
Cheers,
