Re: Re[2]: Preflash on AF360-FGZ Causing Subjects to Blink?

[Paul Eriksson]

The problem is that in Av the camera ZX-L chooses shortest handholdable speed (1/45s for 50mm,1/30s for 35mm and so on)and in shutter priority the camera chooses the largest aperature for the lens. This can not be forgone by setting the aperature on the lens since this automatically sets the camera in Av. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Michael,

No, let it go.  The camera believes that you shouldn't hand hold it
lower than 1/45 with your 35mm lens.  That should be ok for the time
being.  Do a few test shots there and see how they turn out.  You
might try it on a few who didn't blink and a few who did.

The other thing to try is setting the shutter speed to max flash synch
and 5.6 and see what you get.  Perhaps the slower shutter speed is
allowing people enough time to blink.
