Hi, I own an EX-F1, which is probably looked down on on this forum. Anyway, I contacted Casio, and the max voltage for the hot shoe is 6v but I am comfortable modding a flash with an SCR to drop it to this level if need be.
I wanted an auto-Thyristor flash with tilt and hopefully manual control (1/128 would be nice) The cheapest flashes that fit the bill are dedicated flashes for Canon/Nikon/whatever. Will they sync with my EX-F1, which has a simple hot shoe(the one contact and then the actual metal bracket thing)?
Also, some of these flashes are advertised as TTL. Do they have a sensor in them to cut off the flash like a Vivitar 283, or will the absence of the TTL contact on the hotshoe cause the flash to fire with excessive power?
Right now I am looking at a Sunpak PZ5000AF. If anyone can recommend a better flash that could be had used for ~$50, that would be welcome too.
Thanks
