using external flash with G2

[silverfox]

I need to use an external flash with my G2. I own the Contax TLA 360. Does anyone know if I can use that with my G2? I would rather not buy another external flash. thanks for your help.

Hi Silverfox,

Welcome to the forum!

It's a good thing that you asked instead of just trying it out ... because you might damage your camera by using a flash with too high trigger voltage. Refer to the following link.

The trigger voltage shouldn't exceed 6 volts. Your flash model is not on the list ... so you should better be cautious! http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html

There's also one quite exhaustive link on Canon EOS flash here: (haven't had the time to read it myself yet :lol:) http://photonotes.org/articles/eos-flash/

Best regards,
Andy
