Well not totaly only, but he also had the AF540FGZ with him. It works on hotshoe, but limited speed, I think the before mentionted 2.8-2.9 fps. No trigger with me and non on the stand so no test of it with cable.
Originally posted by Wheatfield I guess you have me on ignore. I suppose I can hardly blame you for that.
No I haven't
Originally posted by Digitalis I recommend you do the same. but you could have stumbled on a hardware incompatibility.
My AF540FGZ can keep up with a nikon D3s at 9FPS at 1/16th power.
That is the question, since my metz could work on the K-7 with 5,2 fps so the 7 shouldn't be a problem.
Originally posted by Wheatfield It shouldn't matter in this instance. The shutter trips, but the flash doesn't fire. Set that to 2 and the shutter wouldn't trip if the flash wasn't ready. I was firing the Metz off the PC socket, so the camera has no way of knowing if the flash is ready (it doesn't know there is a flash for that matter). The ready light was staying lit on the Metz, though at 15 shots very quickly, it wouldn't surprise me if the capacitor was down, though I would think it would misfire more than just once and then give another burst before quitting again were this the case.
I'm still a little confused. English is for me my third language, so I understand a lot, but I don't understand everything in your post. Are you referring to the setting in the menu, for firering the internal flash, waiting for flash ready or fire anyway? This has nothing to do with the hotshoe/external flash.
Did your camera work giving 7 fps and firing the Metz everytime?????
In that case I think it would be a problem of my K-5.
