The issue with GPS elevation calculation is not really about the number of satellites, it is about satellite triangulation and the basic design of the GPS system itself. The Earth blocks signals ...

Without correction for local variation in atmospheric pressure (the Altimeter Setting), your GPS "barometer" would only provide Pressure Altitude, not True Altitude. Such a device would produce an ...

I used the built-in Olympus RC system for several years with fairly good results. However, over the last several years I switched to Cactus V6 II triggers. The V6 II supports HSS and TTL, has both ...

I started using Cactus V6 II triggers to remote control my FL-60Rs about 2-3 yrs ago and was very pleased with their performance. With the appropriate firmware update, your Cactus V6 II will do ...

That hole is for the external grip alignment pin.

Since both packs you refer to are based in Li-Ion technology, all of the rules we heard about for Lead Acid, NiCad, NiMh, etc. do not apply. Li-Ion cells function in a completely different way than ...

Just go ahead and get it!

Eh.... No Now you're getting it.

Don't believe it.

I believe I see what the problem is. You are assuming that a fully charged strobe can be fired 8 times at 1/8 power without need for recharging in between shots. If this were the case, then your ...

I think you’ve answered your own question. The flash is not being fully recharged between shots. Repeat your experiment with 1/32 or 1/64 power and see if your good shots increase in number. Rechag ...

Exactly. You need to use a longer focal length with the same subject framing (this means you zoom with your feet) in order to increase background blur, and then utilize a smaller aperture (larger ...

One way to look at it is that the IS senses very low frequency vibration / motion in space (the motion that causes the image to move across the face of the sensor, causing blur). To correct for ...

Well I'm sure this is disappointing news. So sorry to hear you are still dealing with this issue. I believe you had taken the camera to a local shop and that they agreed with you that the IS was ...
