Hi Clint,'
the e SIF archives disagrees with you on this one :
" Energy-saving, series-circuit type, system electronic flash unit. "
It is also pretty easy to test and show that the recycle time varies with
distance on both ttl auto and flash sensor auto.
You also know from all the waiting when you use it, if you have set it near
it's limit!
My memory is that it is a conventional SCR energy saving circuit. Even the
A16 flash in the XA is an SCR unit.

Tim Hughes
