thanks for the followup. Most, if not all, of the cameras I've tested do not have a switch in the hot shoe, but it's a point to remember if one is checking out an unknown camera. I'm a little surprised how few do. It seems a good idea to have this, to avoid the possibility of a shock when using a high-voltage flash on the PC socket. People use the term "analog" loosely, and these days it's sort of shorthand for anything old-fashioned, so there's a good chance that the manual writer simply choose a poor substitute for the more obvious and informative "mechanical." |
