Morris Midi Slave Di to Panasonic G1 flash compatibility

<p>Good afternoon all<br>

I am trying to determine if a Morris Midi Slave Di optical slave flash can be successfully triggered by the on-board flash of a Panasonic G1. I believe the G1 uses a pre-flash. The Midi Slave Di is known to be compatible with Canon, Nikon and Pentax systems. It is also known to not be compatible with Sony and Olympus systems. <br>

Some information about the Midi Slave Di: It has an optical flash detector built in and the flash output is guide number 42@ISO 100. It has two selectable flash modes: N, which fires on the first camera pulse and P which ignores the pre-flash and fires on the second camera pulse. It can be set to full or half power, runs off of 3v (two AA cells) and is approximately 1.2 x 2.4 x 2.5". Cost is $68 (B&H price). It also has a 1/4 x 20 threaded insert for mounting on a tripod etc. <br>

I have sent this same question to Morris a couple of days ago but so far, no joy. I was hoping to purchase a pair for fill flash purposes when using the G1's onboard flash. They take up very little room in the bag.<br>

Thanks to all.<br>

<p>I'd buy one and try it. If it doesn't work, you can send the slave back.</p>

<p>I like the Morris slaves, they're quite convenient and simple.</p>
