You're welcome.

I once spent ages trying to work it out, thinking it must be in the menus . I didn't have my handbook handy then either .

Fn button, flash, use the back wheel to adjust the flash power.

Well someone has to go there .



Hope you get some good weather HG. Have fun.

I actually quite like Brid.

W80 by any chance?

My walking poles had to be checked, but you may get away with a Trekpod or similar but it would be a pain to have on the plane I think.
Plus if they spot the spike on it going through security you have lost your monopod.

Paul, I take my tripod too, unless I am packing light in which case it won't fit in the small duffel bag. As I said they are not allowed in the cabin so have to be checked.

I always check my luggage so I don't have problems taking the camera gear on board, but the tripod needs the big suitcase to fit.

My tripod didn't go to La Palma, and I wish it had.

Easyjet hand luggage can be as heavy as you like, as long as you can lift it into the overhead lockers, and it fits in their frame.
Wheely bags tend to attract more attention than shoulder bags or back packs. Provided you aren't leaning to far to port they won't worry .

I can lift my fully loaded Tamrac backpack (with K-20D Bigma, 60-250, and a few more besides) into an overhead.

You cannot take a tripod as carry-on so that has to be checked. So you either need a big case or a small tripod, or leave it at home.

Agreed!

Well I admit I laughed, but I also recognised myself in your tale of woe. It is the sort of dumb thing I do.

If I'd known you wanted a rainsleeve I'd have bunged one in the post to you. (just to rub salt in the wound - sorry :blush
