If you paid 15 quid for that I think you've done well but measure the voltage. I have a small Hannimex and it's 300v plus - chip shop time I think.

If it's designed to work on Canon, Noikon, Minolta and Pentax + Standard ??, I think it should be ok but I will check anyway (lots of meters as electronics engineer

Thanks for that guys ! He says he's used it on modern Nikon DSLRs, so should be fine trigger voltage wise See if I get it !?

The dedication module will almost certainly be for TTL operation (which your K10D doesn't have - hence it's of no use). Full manual control *is* useful as that makes it useable on pretty much any camera made in the last half-century (and a lot before) if you don't mind doing your own settings. If the head is of the tilt/swivel variety (allowing you to adjust the direction of the light) then maybe £15 isn't such a bad price after all...
Tell me what u think ! (hope I did the link bit right, first attempt on here

No more than about £2.
thanks for that ! The dedication module looks rather clever, does Canikon and Minolta too ! Fill in flash built in and manual too, I believe ! Quite a beast !! Asking £15 for it

Hanimex PZ4200 Flash ! any good with a K10 ? comes with 'Multiple dedicated lead'. What's it worth, if anything ?

I dont like auto ISO so I shoot almost exclusively at a single ISO.
So do I !! that's why it's annoying me. If I could turn the Auto feature off, I would do

But why do you want to press the green button in Av mode ?

I only use the green button in

1. Manual, to set a shutter speed.

2. In Hyper Program to set a Program exposure.
Good question ! I probably don't need to !!

I think I was confused about the fact that it changes Iso, and not just for Av ! I'm surprised it does anything really ! Same for Tv, of course. Just a way of reseting back to Auto Iso I suppose ??

In Av mode: front wheel ISO, rear wheel aperture.
In Tv mode: front wheel shutter speed, rear wheel ISO.
Done that, and more

BUT, if u press the Green button in say.. Av mode, u set the Auto Iso ! if u then go to Tv ot P etc. it's still set to Auto and I don't want that !!

I'll learn to live with it no doubt ! Have to remember not to use Green button in certain modes.

Thanks all

Following mattmatic's suggestion, mine are set up so that the camera is normally on auto ISO, but moving the front wheel adjusts the ISO to whatever you want. Then pressing the green button returns it to auto ISO
when do u move the Front wheel ? in Fn menu ? or have u changed Custom settings to enable Iso on Front wheel ? If so on which Mode, Av ??

Please expound

Odd, mine does not do that in manual mode or Hyper Program mode. How are you setting the ISO in the first place ?
Nor does mine, it seems ! It does it in Av mode !! I was saying the button was handy in those modes, but I thought it also changed Iso, maybe not

Maybe I'm over confusing this, and myself

It's a pity u can't set Auto to just ONE Iso, but u can't !

(latest firmware, for those asking)
