reginaldwatkins Posted September 4, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm second guessing myself, does "TTL/GNC" basically mean that we can set the flash exposure on a compatible camera and it picks it up in the flash? If I choose "A", which apparently we have to while using the SF 24D on the X1, I can only change the flash exposure on the flash unit itself and not on the camera? While using "A" if I change aperture or ISO it is displaying that change on the LCD. I'm new to this flash and the first noticeable difference I see is the flash doesn't turn off when I turn the camera off. It seems as if the CF-22 would turn off when the D-Lux 4 was powered off. Any thoughts on this? Which mode do you use? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on this? Which mode do you use? Look at p 111 of the X1 manual. The SF24D can work in TTL as well as A. I haven't tried personally, but seems to me the manual is a good place to start.

Guest X1s Posted September 6, 2010 Share #3 Posted September 6, 2010 Look at p 111 of the X1 manual. The SF24D can work in TTL as well as A. I haven't tried personally, but seems to me the manual is a good place to start. Follow the instructions, it works as directed:) personally, I prefer no flash with the X1, as it performs remarkably well off a tripod with natural lighting.

reginaldwatkins Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted September 11, 2010 Thank you for all your replies. Here's what I discovered, the "A" appears on the flash when you first turn it on, you must press the shutter to send the signal to the flash then the "TTL" kicks in. The X1 is not listed as a "Compatible Camera" due to the fact that you can not adjust the flash exposure on the camera and it feed to the flash. You have to adjust the flash exposure on the flash while using it on the X1. On a "Compatible Camera" you can set the flash exposure on the camera and it will feed to the flash, not so with the X1. Also, you can only adjust the flash exposure in full stops not 1/3 stops that the camera offers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reginaldwatkins Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted September 12, 2010 I stand corrected, I can choose 1/3 stops on the flash! I'm finding it to a nice compliment to the X1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
