Usign the Inon D2000Wn or Z240 in manual mode

Hi,

I am sarting my tests with my brand new Inon Z240 strobe (which I guess works in the same way as de D2000Wn) and my Oly C-5050Z camera. In S-TTL everything is easy and working. But... what about manual mode?

If I use the slave strobe setting on the camera and I disable the preflash cancel circuit, everything is fine. I dial in the desired strobe power, and it flashes at the same time as the slave flash.

But if I use the normal strobe setting on the camera (preflash and main flash) and I enable the preflash cancel circuit... the strobe still mimics the preflash!!!

Shouldn't it ignore the preflash and the fire with the dialed power sincronized with the main flash? I guess this is what it should do to be usable on a camera without slave setting, isn't it? Am I getting something wrong?

Wow,that's exactly wath I was looking for. I just bought a new Z-240 from Yuzo Kanda. I sold my "old" D180. I remember (hopefully) that with the D-180 I used the internal strobe of my C-5050 in slave mode with the magnet inserted in the D-180 to eliminate the advanced cancel circuit. I see that you do the same. In this way the internal flash shouldn't preflash while using it in master mode It does. But anyway in S-TTL the Z-240 should emit its own preflash to adjust the exposure or at least that's what I've understood. I really don't know what difference it makes setting the internal flash in master or slave mode.

Let me know what do you think. By the way did you got an english manual?
