Originally posted by mattdm Note that you must do this initially even if they both default to the same camera. If you don't, it'll appear to work but all of the flashes will be at full power. (Based on experience, not documentation.)
This has not been my experience with the Metz 48 AF-1, nor the Pentax AF 360FGZ. I pretty much pull the flash out of my bag, set it to wireless slave, and pop up the on board flash, set it to wireless, and go.
I can prove the flash isn't firing at full power simply by taking a photo of it in wireless mode. At full power the flash should overdrive the sensor, but it doesn't. The only way I can actually tell the flash is working is by switching to the DA 10-17mm fisheye at 10mm. This gives me a FOV larger than the flash's output on my target (I'm just laying the flash on the floor) and I can see the light circle. If I raise the FEV on the flash I can see this increase in the light circle, but still can't see the flash at the flash head.
This is with the K10D and K20D with the latest firmware on both cameras.
Thank you
