Wireless Contrast Control Sync Flash?

Taikonaut · 04-29-2009, 10:30 AM

I have a Metz 48 AF-1 and an AF540. I am wondering if it's possible to make them wirelessly connected through the built-in flash, and do contrast control sync flash. I read the manuals of my camera and flashs , but they are not helpful. Thanks.

Contrast control on Pentax cameras works with P-TTL corded flash. You can get the same result by dialing negative flash compensation on one of your flash while using them in wireless mode. Doing this gives you more control since you can go down to -3 on one unit to +1 on the other unit. Using a -1 comp on the body, this means you can get a light ratio of 4 stops.
