http://www.popphoto.com/cameras/1509/10-things-you-should-know-about-the-konica-minolta-maxxum-7d.html

I think i learnt to use these all myself because i needed to, and stumbled upon the features that served. Besides of course the elusive smooth focusing setting.....if you haven't read this article, enjoy!

Yes, good review.

I use all this stuff but being reminded can some times help.

Thanks

Thanks for the post...I'd forgotten about that page a long time ago...have it bookmarked now

I love their first line... "It’s no secret that we here at Pop Photo like our cameras with lots of dials and levers"

Thanks. The article answered the question about Smooth Focus which I'd just posted.

Regarding the mating ritual of flashes, this need only occur once. After connecting my 3600 to my 7D, and setting the camera menu to wireless, once done, the flash can be removed, put away, taken out at a later time and used wirelessly without returning it to the cam. My 3600 has a "wireless" channel selection button. I use it all the time with no need to install on the hotshoe repeatedly. I'm not sure of the 5600 but I imagine it works the same.

It doesn't even have to be done once, if you don't change the channel from the factory setting.

Ahhh......good point Robert, good point!

Excellent article. I had no idea about the smooth focus setting (which is pretty nice in some occasions) as well as the DMF feature. Thanks for the post!
