Knock off how does it do it?? It doesn't matter, just turn it on and do what you want and never mind why and how it does it." Similarly so this "flash stuff" is hardly relevant to the back and forth discourse-discord...developing. Can't some of these things be just KISSimple? Put a flash on the camera, trip the shutter and it works! How and why it does it in the big scheme of a successful exposure isn't worth the time spent fighting over it. Regardless of whom said what or didn't say! For heaven sakes folks lets get back to "taking pictures-talking about them" and the fine results many folks achieve without having a clue why the camera does what it does! Besides who really really cares!!!!!!! After all isn't it the final photo moment the most important aspect of what we do? And not what the hell goes on inside the camera? Sure some of you get off on this stuff, but the majority, even though sometimes it's interesting to learn some very interesting stuff, it's hardly worth getting into a babblefest over the techie stuff that changes faster than a hooker's pants on a Saturday night! Let's start off the New Year with a little less babble techie stuff and more about our pictures. Helping each other to become better photographers than completely confused tech folks. Thank you gentlemen and gentle women. the grouch that escaped Christmas, ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 250-477-2156
