I'm sure it depends on the age of the 285HV unit. Some are certainly 12
volts. Newer stuff may be 5 volts as you say. I know the specifics
here since I have friends who use their 12 volt 285HV's (I measured
them) on Canon DSLR's despite Canon's contention that the max voltage on
the hot shoe should be 6 volts. I can testify that three 12 volt
285HV's have yet to ruin a D30, D60, two 10D's or a 20D.
