Stan Yoder Posted September 25, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 25, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Using these two together, the SF24 readout continually oscillates between a) showing the max feet + aperture, and a number that I assume is a GN of some sort. The only way I can get it to stop doing this is to turn off the lens ID feature of the M8. Then it settles down to the max feet and aperture. All of the above no matter whether in TTL/GN, Auto, or Manual. Is this correct functioning? With lens ID on, should I ignore the oscillating and just flash away?

TIA Stan, I use lens ID with my M8, my SF24D seems to work just fine, with a very stable display. Shows the normal display of distance and ISO. I have the flash set for TTL/GNC mode, and the M8 in AE mode. Gene Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted September 25, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 25, 2007 Stan, Which lens are you using? I'm asking because the camera tells the flash the focal length and if it is wider than the flash's light beam the flash will 'blink' the 35mm equivalent focal length in the LCD display. The diffuser- and beam-focusers that came with the flash will help you widen or focus the light that is emitted. If you put a coded 24mm on an SF24 without the diffuser it will tell you the lens' fow is wider than what the flash can properly light. - Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 25, 2007 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2007 It switches display between an (assumed) f-stop and distance and the focal length read from the lens. This is normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
