Hi Judith, (happy New Year),

I believe that you will find that the Flash will fire on full power all the time. It is a TTL flash and not P-TTL. You might have some control in manual mode on the camera but it's guess work on the correct exposures.

You will need I believe, to use either A or M modes. To use A mode, you set your flash for the aperture and ISO you want to use and fire away. The Flash will measure proper exposure for your shot but the camera will only be Triggering the flash. To use it in M mode, you set the output power. This will be a 1/1, 1/2, 1/4 etc setting.


So all will not be lost, just more work.

Kind Regards

Paul

Excellent shot Naim. Great dof.

DONNA NOOK SEALS

Pros flout seal warnings, Donna Nook photography ban possible


"More formal controls" may be needed to protect seals at the Donna Nook colony, where professional photographers leading photo workshop groups are among those ignoring requests from wardens not to shoot on the beach, the head of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust has revealed.

Speaking to PhotoRadar, the Trust's Chief Executive Paul Learoyd said that 500 people this year have ignored the Trust's request not to go beyond the fence and photograph seals on the beach at Donna Nook's outer colony.

"This figure is a disappointment but a great improvement on last year," he told us. "Many of these people were attending paid workshop group visits with professional photographers."

Hi Momo

I have had a total of 8 'third party' batteries from China for both K10d's and my present K7's. None of them have any problems with reduced life. And I am sure that you will find similar reports of the same on here. However I am also sure that some will say that the quality is not too good. All I can vouch for is that I personally have found them to be of extremly good quality and very reliable. Please note that very cold weather does reduce the battery life. Take a spare with you and keep it warm when it is very cold.

Regards


Paul

Please do, I would be interested.
