actually looking @ 630AF or 260AF...
any info about it? Price etc? Can it be use on 602? need something thats is close to TTL.. manual seems a bit tought for me...
? are you using it for the S602Z? It doesn't support TTL. The AF illuminator in the 630AF or 260AF also won't work for the S602Z (if I'm not wrong). But both would have much lower trigger voltages (less than 10V)
The 260T has 3 auto modes which allows it to be used easily with the 602Z. The 630AF or 260AF should have auto modes (not the auto focus capabilty!) and would be used in the same way as 260T.
Perhaps, I illustrate how auto mode work?
1. Based on the ISO setting on the camera, you select one of the auto modes which indicate give the correct aperture, say z, for proper exposure.
2. set the aperture on the camera to z (and probably you'll want to fix the shutter speed as well).
3. That's all!
Each auto mode has a working range. As long as the subject do not fall out of the range and there's no change in ISO, you need not adjust any other settings again to get proper exposure. (initially, you might need to test out whether you need some adjustment to the original aperture setting).
KanuAMBC probably can explain it better ;p
DanielG, they're Achiever brand.
Btw, mpenza, does 630AF has LCD panel behind? Does it mean to say that getting a Flash that has Autofocus, AF illuminator, TTL, zoom head is considered an overkill? Since none of these features will work with the non-TTL hotshoe of S602. Sorry, not too knowlegeable on Flash.
They're quite cheap. The 630AF's GN at 30m is reasonable powerful too (am i correct to say dat?). It can swivel too.

you could say that. it's quite powerful. if you're doing lots of "bouncing", you would want as much power as you got

This probably could explain it better than I can
http://www.photoimagenews.com/flash.htmAutofocus, AF illuminator and TTL won't work for S602Z. I know 2 types of zoom: manual and motorised. Manual means the photographer moves a lever, or pull out the flash head to zom. For motorised zoom (usually only in highend flash), zooming will be automatic based on the current lens position. However, this requires some special communication and is usually available for dedicated flash.
you could also try posting a question in Technical Discussions. I'm sure the experts out there know more than me

Just see what Kanu is able to do with his flash and you'll know that a 30+ to 50+ flash is good enough liao!
Since the S602Z doesn't support E-TTL or TTL, there is no point getting anything that cost so much more! The more important thing is that you understand the logic behind the flash and use it GN correctly, there shld not be any pro with it.

10s dude, you're great...
ok heres my shopping list...
fuji 602 - 1260
OEM ring adapter - ?
filter - 8
128MB SM - 90
128MB CF - 90
flash - KIV
2*4 1850 sanyo @ AP - ?
intending to get everything @ MS Color(xecpt batt, what u all think?)
itanium, I think MS Color doesn't have the oem adaptor. You could call them to ask (try to speak to Mr Loh or Florence).
Also, ask for free LCD screen protectors ;p You would also need to get a lens cap if you intend to leave the adaptor with V filter on all the time.
As for the CF, test it in video mode to see if it works. Slower ones like SanDisk might not be able to capture any video! I'm using a RiDatat 20x 256MB which is quite alright (105s of video).
