Maybe I'm confusing the total flash dump with the rate of burn. and maybe this isn't a noticeable issue with battery usage. Please correct me. Mike - I think we were talking about two different things. I thought you meant more battery use than a manual flash when obviously you meant more use than an auto flash. Of course C.H. Ling pointed out elsewhere on the list that the duration of the FP flash varies which I did not know before. -- Winsor Crosby Long Beach, California ? < This message was delivered via the Olympus Mailing List > < For questions, mailto:owner-olympus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > < Web Page: http://Zuiko.sls.bc.ca/swright/olympuslist.html > |
