Hi everybody,
Maybe some LX owner could help me to understand the strange
behaviour of my various LX when the AF280T is on the camera.
What happened is that the camera refused to fire the flash in
daylight. It happened for something like 7 shots, then I quit
taking pictures thinking of a faulty thing.
Back home, I tried the camera, same settings (A, flash on TTL,
in vertical position, lens on f/4,5), and the flash fired.
Moving around my room I framed the lamp under the ceiling and...
no flash. Only when I closed the aperture to a value that
allowed the camera to chose a speed under 1/60 (I think 1/50,
the working speed in TTL flash) then the flash fired again.
All my LX cameras and both my AF280T act this way.
Is it normal?
I always thought that the camera wouldn't bother about the
amount of light in the frame when in TTL mode.
Does this mean that there is a sort of Auto flash mode in the
circuit that controls the flash, or what?
Thanks in advance.
Gianfranco
PS: I've found a Hotshoe Adapter F. According to the
instructions of the cable I already own it cannot be used with a
flash on it, at least when the cable is attached to the adapter.
Anybody tried to mount a flash on the adapter and another via cable?
