Thans for your answer Mark, I will notify Olympus Europe of my findings and
ask them waht to do with it. Schould I send both items or just the flash or
body? I am wondering though that however short the preflash is I should be
able to see it. I also seem to remeber seeing preflash when I just bought
the flash 2nd hand and tested it. Are all of you sure not to see the preflas
in Auto TTL mode?
Kind regards,
Wiliam Wagenaar
