Re: Does NX100 have to use Samsung Flash?

I would have thought it a good idea to assume it will fry the camera until proved otherwise

use samsung brand or metz 20c-2 Automatic not TTL

I can't see that the original poster mentioned the flash model concerned so it's not really appropriate to say it will destroy his camera.

However, proper research needs to be conducted to establish the trigger voltage.

This site here will provide valuable information on which models produce which voltage measure:

It's also possible to measure it yourself.

At the end of the day it may be irrelevant if the latest Firmware has been applied as that prevents most non-Samsung flash units from working on an NX100.
