Originally posted by maconmatt I guess my real question is more about the possible conflict of settings between the external flash and the camera:
Since the AF-360 already has settings for "Leading Curtain", "Trailing Curtain", "Contrast Control" and "High-Speed" sync modes on it's body, do i ever need to adjust the K10d's sync mode in-camera?
The flash is mostly the arbitrator of mode. If you look at the sync column of the chart, you'll notice it follows the sync setting of the flash, except for HSS on the flash. What happens with HSS on the flash is subject to the camera's settings .
The last column in the chart describes whether the exposure is calculated with the light the flash provides, or without. This would be the choice of shooting with ambient in mind or not. What the chart can't take into account is that in manual, it is only the metering that is affected. If you aren't setting the shutter, aperture and iso according to the meter, then all bets are off.
Thank you
