  1. I want to use a flash Metz 32CT-3 in my Olympus C-7070 and I need to

    know what is de SAFE strobe triggering voltage. Instruction manual

    never mention anything (I don't wanna fry my new camera!).

     

    I contact Metz in Germany and they say me "flash units of type Metz

    32 CT-3 are already loaded with a so called low voltage trigger

    circuit according the international standard called ISO10330 1992-11

    allowing trigger voltages from 3.5 to 24 volts. A 32 CT-3 provided

    only 21V (measured unloaded) to the camera which should be suitable

    for all digital cameras as a Oly C7070 as well."

    So, I contact Olympus but, they never send me information. Bad

    support.

     

    Searching in the web I find this: "Marco Fortin-Metzgen checked with

    Olympus Europe on his C4040 ? that digicam has a trigger voltage of

    10V, so Olympus too recommends strobe triggering in the 3V to 6V

    range". (http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html

    )

     

    So, who is right?

     

    If someone can send me some info, I be very grateful.

    PS: Please, please, please: don?t send me messages like "buy a

    Olympus FL-50 flash".-

  2. I wanna buy a digital camera and I have to decide between a Nikon

    Coolpix 5400 or a Olimpus C-5060 (I only have $ 450). I already have

    a Nikon SB 26 which I could use with the Coolpix 5400. Although the C-

    5060 has another advantages too. If some users of these cameras could

    send me yours experience, I wil be very gratefull.
