  1. Maybe i have done something wrong but i have follow problem

    I think that i do something wrong with the Nikon D200 settings

  2. Hi Lambis,

     

    Subtronic strobes keep firing even when turned off while the capacitor is still charged.

     

    If you want to empty the strobe's capacitor, just turn it off, take one shot on full power and then it will be empty. If you don't turn the strobe up to full power it will take several shots to empty the strobe.

     

    This used to be a real hassle on film - when you never had a spare shot in only 36 when you wanted to switch to ambient light.
