Originally posted by Teal Try to shoot using your onboard flash on Auto Flash mode. Then do shots on Manual Flash mode. Can you tell the difference?
If not, then either:
1. Your Manual Flash mode also exhibits a delay, or
2. Your unit is probably the only one in existence to not have this delay because from all units I've tested all around Sydney they all have it.
I've just done all that and I still can't see what you are talking about.
As soon as I hear the focus confirm beep, I press the shutter button and the in-built flash discharges. If there is a delay, I must need an atomic clock or something to detect it.
Edit: OK, I just did the same with the K-5 and the K-5 seems slightly more instantaneous. But it is a miniscule difference and it all happens within the scope of the button press. There would be more practical scope for delay in the focus confirm and flash recharge than any action of the PTTL when doing action shots.
And as I've said before, if Pentax can tune this up, well and good. But let's not make mountains out of molehills.
