K-3 II and the Great P-TTL Delay

Paul the Sunman · 08-16-2015, 06:57 PM

A question for owners of the K-3 II who have used it with a P-TTL flash on the hotshoe: is there still a noticeable delay between pressing the shutter release button and the flash/shutter firing? It made P-TTL almost useless on the K-3, except for still life shots.

Unfortunately there is. At least with my Metz 58 AF-2.
I hope they will fix it somehow.
