I bought the Sigma 530DG super at the same time that I bought my K20D December of last year. The sucky thing is that I lost the manual and I never really learned how to use ANY flash. I've only used the flash a few time and I left it on auto. I don't know if I am using it right but I am able to get the job done. On auto it does a pretty good job after a few test shots.
When using the flash, I leave the Sigma on auto and put the camera on Av mode. I noticed that the shutter speed is 1/60 to 1/180 depending on the focal length the lens is. Why does it not stay at 1/180 sec? Isn't that supposed to be better if I want to stop the action? Is there anything else on the camera that I should set?
I want to take advantage of the more advance feature like being able to use it wirelessly. I am able to get my K20D to trigger the Sigma but for some reason I did not see any effect. The Sigma DOES fire but the picture looks the same as if it didn't fire.
That is all the question that I have right now.
I tried to download the manual from sigma site but they don't have the Pentax version on there. Any links to anything that tells you how to use the flash would be great.
Also can someone tell me what this is or have they used this before?
