I thought I saw some time ago someone on the list mentioned that if you
tape over the flash ready light when using the F280 in Super FP mode,
then you could use the memo function to actually capture the shutter
speed used with the F280 (in super fp). Taping over the flash ready
terminal on the hot shoe prevents the memo function from being
disabled. Unfortunately, this will not work with regular flash.
