modern flash on an old body?

[xpiotiavos]

<p>Hey everybody,</p>

<p>I did a quick search and didn't find any previous threads on this, but please let me know if I'm asking something that's already been answered.</p>

<p>Is is possible to use an AF540 flash on the ME body? Or will the ME completely fry my flash unit? I know the old flash systems used a much higher voltage, and that you can't use some old flashes on modern bodies, but is the converse also true?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>No the ME won't do anything to your flash unit. Sync volts only are in relation to the camera.</p>

<p>The ME will fire the 540 in manual and I suppose auto.</p>
