I just bought a new G2 off eBay (my first digital camera). I like synchro-flash technique, and have a Vivitar 285 that I use on my other cameras. My question, I have heard that using a non-Canon approved flash for this camera can damage it (voltage level or something), and that it requires a converter of some type to use 'other' flashes.

Can someone who is knowledgable fill me in on the facts regarding this?

Thanks in advance...

check first voltage trigger some old flash can reach 240 vdc if it is less than 20 vdc you can plug it in g2 but remember this flash it is not compactible with your g2 , there are only one way that you can use it,set the camera to M ,speed s/200 and adjust the arpature proprely , set the WB to flash .

Et bonne chance
