wilfredo Posted February 19, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted February 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I can't seem to get my SF20 flash to fire on TTL mode with the M8. When I try it on the M7, it seems to work fine, on the M8 it won't fire unless I set it to "A" or "M." On both cameras I set the shutter speed Dial to "A" and the flash to TTL. Am I doing something wrong here? I've looked at the instructions and it doesn't seem like I'm doing anything wrong. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this dilema.

rami G Posted February 19, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted February 19, 2007 as far as I understand, the sf20 (which I also have) does not work on TTL mode on the M8. THe sf24 (which I don't have) does. That is pretty bad news, as I am starting to feel as if the M8 is like getting a new girlfried and latter on discovering that she already has 5 kids and you have to buy them presents for christmas and birthdays all the time: IR filters, Coding, new flash, new viewfinders (1.33 crop), wider lenses...

wilfredo Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share #5 Â Posted February 19, 2007 Rami, Â Upon checking the instructions I realize that they only mention the SF24 for TTL. That was an oversight on my part not to notice that detail, but the mystery is solved. Yes, I am disappointed that Leica produced a camera that won't work with the SF20 Flash on TTL, even if I hardly ever use it, it is reasonable to have this expectation. I won't be upgrading to the SF24. I'll just use it on Automatic mode. Â Regards, Wilfredo+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
