Ah, thanks for the good info, Tom!

spoke about *Re: [OM] Lightining...* saying
A single lightning flash can be comprised of several return strokes.
The average number of return strokes in a lightning flash is 3 or 4,
each stroke typically separated by 40 to 80 milliseconds.
...
The duration of the whole flash of lightning is usually
one-half second.
So it looks like the mechanical shutter misses the first stroke, but
could easily pick up return strokes.
