Re: Stylus 1 and FL40 flash - will they play well with each other?

Thanks - If it will work in manual and auto, I'll be a happy camper. I use manual frequently with flash, but when I want simple, I use auto flash and strongly favor thyristor control in the flash itself instead of TTL. Many flashes controlled by the camera use a preflash to set exposure and I hate that method, as thyristor in flash controlled is calculated during the exposure, not before and is usually quicker. It sounds like the FL40 could actually be used on almost anything in the manual or automatic mode, as according to the manual it has a sensor to control the flash duration for any preset aperture and iso combination. Any additional info or knowledge appreciated.
