[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 221065, member: 12496"] It has to fire commands, but if you were behind the camera, it may not have been obvious. If taking pictures of people though, it can make them blink at just the wrong time (so you only get pictures of them blinking). Then FV Lock works wonders to bypass that. FV Lock causes the flashing and preflash to occur then, to get it over with. Then the following shutter button doesn't do all that flashing, and there are no blinks. I've been puzzled by it, if halfway close to the camera (maybe 4 or 5 feet), it doesn't seem to matter where the flash is, and behind the camera works fine. But if farther, then it becomes line of sight, and it becomes important that the sensor (on side of flash with battery door) be in the clear and face back to the commander on camera. [/QUOTE]
