Thanks Gwyn, time permitting we'll see what we can do.

It would be helpful if there were no replies or comments to spam messages as they cause confusion and add to the work when cleaning up the thread.

No Richard, there's no longer any subsciption.

What is being referred to here is that there's a limit of 1 image per day when posting in the Gallery. Magazine subscibers don't have a limit and this is still the case, even though there is no magazine any more.

Of course there's no limit to anyone in the Your Photos section of the forum, but that's not the issue here.

Actually you're quite right, the shutter will release but the flash won't fire. Obviously a safety feature to prevent using the wrong speed.

There's probably no need for a decision, as everyone passes the renewal date for their subscriptions will they cease to be subscribers? When that happens will they only be able to post one image per day?

The terms were that subscribers could post more than one image per day, and that's how it's set up. I'm not sure where you got the idea that they could post three per day.

phpBB3 has been running for ages, surely...anyway php upgrades are pretty thin on the ground at the moment. This forum is upgraded contstantly as the IT dept feel is appropriate.

I doubt the world will suffer much for not being able to see a backslash in a post!

I think what you want to happen will work if you use a flashgun without dedicated contacts. It works with an IR trigger so I don't see why it wouldn't with a gun that has an old-fashioned plain connection.

Hit the Print Screen button on the keyboard. This saves whatever is on the screen to the clipboard, so you can then paste it into a document. (Ctrl+V)

What are you trying to do? This started off as a question about triggers for studio lights. IR trigger, 1/180 set in M mode, test shot at f8 and then adjust as needed, job done.

Anything can always be interpreted in a negative way, but Pentax have just designed their cameras around a shutter with a synch speed of 1/180sec. That's faster than the 1/125sec of the older film cameras (1/60sec with horizontally running shutters) but slower than the 1/250sec of faster shutters that are more expensive. It's only a choice, not a conspiracy!

If you want faster flash synch, then a Pentax flashgun can be used in high speed mode. If you want to set an inappropriately high synch speed then you can do so using manual mode. The consequence may well be a dark bar on the image, but it is possible to be lucky and for it to fall in an unimportant part.

I personally don't have a problem using 1/180sec with studio flash. If I wanted to use fill-in flash in daylight that needs some care with focal plane shutters, so a camera with a leaf shutter or a leaf shutter lens is better.
