Quick question, I got a Nissin i40 for my LX100 to do off camera strobing. It seems that it can only be triggered by the on camera flash, is there a way to stop my on camera flash from getting in the photo? I mean besides blocking it... Is there a setting that will have the on camera flash just pre fire and trigger my off camera flash?
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LX100 & LEICA D-Lux Type 109

I think Kardinsky is referring to the 64gb one. Cos i hooted 2 64gb sandisk extreme for 34.99usd each. Hail black friday!
Amazon offer SGD$23...
Correct, was referring to the 64gb one. Was a typo in my post.
I just ordered one a month ago at US$42... but don't feel too bad... still cheaper than sitex :bsmilie:
The LX100 has a function to set the on camera flash to [OFF], but this is only compatible with Panny/Oly flashes that support the wireless triggering.
Suggest getting wireless radio triggers like the yongnuo RF-603II. About S$50 for a pair locally.

Sandisk Extreme only 60 MB/s.. not very fast leh.
Sony 64GB SDXC UHS-1 Class 10 Memory Card much faster at 94 MB/s and cheaper... only US$33.95
Anyway, I ordered the Transcend 64 GB High Speed Class 10 UHS Flash Memory Card Up to 90 MB/s TS64GSDXC10U1 from Amazon. It is optimised for Full HD,3D and even 4K video recording and only cost US$29.99

The sony one is a u1, the sandisk mentioned is a u3..
If the read speed is the most important spec to you, yeah, the Sony may be a more suitable card for your needs.
Is this the product you are referring to? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/917679-REG/sony_sf64ux_tqn_64gb_sdxc_uhs_1_memory_card.html
From the product description:
Write speed is what matters while shooting/recording, and minimum transfer speed is what matters most for video. This Sandisk article explains the difference between rated speed and speed class.
Remember that the maximum figure given is based on 'up to...', it's a speed which the card might reach at certain points of operation, but it's not a guaranteed sustained rate.
In that sense, the Sony card in this case, you can say it will definitely write between 10-45 MB/s, while the Sandisk will definitely write between 30-40MB/s. See the difference?

Check the details with the shop you purchased from?

Thanks for the info! I've set it up like in the manual but it still does not work...
Anyways to follow up for anyone who wants to know, optically triggering a flash with the LX100 does not work 100%. The on camera flash that is supposed to be the trigger always creeps into the shot even when set to OFF in the menu. It seems like a Panasonic flash protocol timing issue as this has not happened to me before on Canon systems, I'd always be able to use the on camera flash as a trigger and it never gets into the shot. I've tried both the Nissin i40 and the Panasonic FLR360 flash and it didn't do it for me, might be a LX100 bug or something.
I've since returned the flash and got a set of small radio triggers with a cheapy Yongnuo flash and it's been great so far!

Collected the freebies for the LX100 today as well. No issue collecting, just need to bring along the original receipt, warranty card and IC.
Not sure about whether there is a last day.
Will receive the camera case, 16GB SD card (Panasonic SD-HC U1), S$50 NTUC voucher and one spare battery (original)

It's amazing how misinformed the leica shops are here. They were so sure that we will be getting the stock in Singapore first claiming that singapore is the distribution centre for Asia even though it is already available in Tokyo and Hong Kong. Their estimated arrival dates kept being pushed backwards week after week. I hope this is not a reflection of the after sales service at Leica.

This will be my 1st rebadged Leica..so not sure if it will receive the same level of aftersales service...but from my past experiences with them...their aftersales is good.
