Anyone use a remote flash trigger and have it not respond or intermittently respond when in the hotshoe of the K7 or K5?
If I use a sync-cable the remote works 100% of the time.
In the hotshoe, I get as little as one out of ten working.
Specifically I have the Elinchrom Skyport remote triggers. I've tried with multiple triggers, and same issue with both my K7 and K5.
I also see this behavior with the cheap eBay Cactus trigger.
Never had an issue with the K10D.
Any ideas what Pentax changed and how the two options could behave differently? I would figure that the center post was connected to the sync port. But obviously it is on a separate circuit.
More importantly; Anyone else see this "problem" with other triggers such as Pocket Wizards?
