I am seriously considering purchasing the Pro 70 for studio use. Before
doing so I want to make sure this camera will work with a radio slave in
the hot shoe (just as I do with my regular EOS bodies w/o additional sync
cords). Is there any reason why this wouldn't work?

I use Pocket Wizard Plus radio strobes with my Pro-70 all the time. The
Plus works fine attached to the hot-shoe of Pro-70. I also use a Nikon
AS-15 hot0shoe adapter to sync the Pro-70 with other studio strobes via a
PC cord. be aware - some power-pak (and portable) strobes use different
sync voltages (and as Westfal notes, polarity). LPA - maker of the Pocket
Wizard radio-sync's - also make a low-voltage-trigger box (LVT) that will
convert sync voltages. good luck..........
I received a few emails regarding my post re: Pocket Wizard Plus radio strobes sync used with a Canon Pro-70, so I'll add this clarification: It DOES work...... but you MUST set Pro-70 in aperture-priority mode in "P" mode, and set some aperture OTHER THAN 'AUTO'...... In 'A' mode or 'P' mode with 'AUTO' sperture selected, my Pro70 will not fire ANY external strobe or slave that I've tried. I guess the Pro70 is 'smart' enough to know that the radio slave or an PC adapter is NOT a 220EX or 380EX, and that you must set an aperture manually ...a nice feature, I think!! BTW, ISO rating of 100 in 'large' image mode is fairly accurate for me, but small mode is more like 320-400, IMHO.
Hi, Max:On another note, I'd like Chuck Westfall to respond to this observation:
When using Pro70 with non-EX strobes, I typically use exposure
compensation in 'P' mode to fine-tune exposures, since Pro70 has no
'in-between' aperture settings - only full f-stops. This DOES work well,
however if I take a series of pics with successive increases/decreases of
exposure compensation, all the 'file info' data in Acquire module return
EXACTLY THE SAME SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE VALUES. Just what is getting
varied to produce different exposures?..... but as long as something
works, don't knock it, right?...I'm a scientist by training and would
just like to know!
