The mechanical switch under the edge of the hot shoe obviously sets the camera to the GN flashmatic mode as well as sets the shutter to 1/30th (according to the online manual in this site) when a flash is on the hotshoe. So, if you used the flash on a bracket and connected by the PC sync, the camera will not set to 1/30 or GN flashmatic. Will the flash still sync then at all shutter speeds, which according to the specs goes up to 1/800th? If it does, it seems it would be useful for daytime fill flash. Thanks, Wayne
