erm, i don't understand. Can explain?

I'll try...

A triggering voltage is sending a voltage,( example, let say its 3 volts ) with respect to ground to set off the flash.
This means I must put a battery of with 3 volts between the center pin and ground ( which is the hot shoe or the side metal contact of the flash hotshoe )

With my SB 15, I can test trigger the flash simply by shorting the center pin of the flash with the side metal contact of the flash hotshoe with a piece of wire.

thus this is bringing the center pin to ground or one may say "shorting to ground" to trigger.

cheers
 

Alternatively, Steven Lee of Camera Hospital sells it for $830. Do insist on an official receipt.
 

anyone know where to get cpl filter lens for S100fs and how much it usually cost?
i saw one at ebay for US22.99 not counting shipping yet
 

i bought a 2nd hand s100fs which came with tokina cpl filter. not sure where the seller got it though... maybe can check AP? btw, yesterday I went AP to get 3rd party compatible batteries... limited stocks only....
 

Wow, so fast there are 2nd hand S100s??

my first night shot with tis cam model

Taken using S100FS




Seems that the IS on this cam not very useful.:thumbsd:
Does anyone had this problem?

I also like to use Aperature Priority, ISO100 & without flash to take photos.
But most of them came out a bit blur, especially during in-door or night time.
Anyone got solution to this?:)
 

use higher ISO. dun worry abt noise on the S100FS below ISO 400 to 800.

Thanks to br0wnskinnedb0y & sectional86.
I try out higher ISO & the result seem ok.
Does this mean higher ISO is better than the built-in IS?
As the photos I taken with or without IS seems to be the same;p

Compared with my previous Canon P&S, the difference made by the IS is not as big, with the Canon it was pretty obvious. Whether this speaks poorly of the Fuji's IS or the Canon's default stability is open to debate. Anyway, there is still a difference. Here's an example, shot at 400mm, ISO400, 1/26s, 100% crop.

Without IS:

With IS:

The IS is clearly doing its job, though with more subtlety than some other systems. Also, I've found it useful to keep the IS mode at continous, rather than shoot only. You will notice the difference when composing your shot.

Just like as you, I like to shoot at min ISO without flash. But I've found that the S100FS performs almost perfectly up to ISO400, so I'd rather push up the ISO and risk a little grain than have a blurry shot.
 

can members recommend me a dedicated flash for the camera. thanks.

It should work, in the manual mode only.

The TTL function will not work.
