Just got word from a very reliable source ..........................
On a separate question Mark,
Have you been shooting with Quickflash enabled or disabled.
Why Do I ask?....Given that a lot of Nikon Guns have apparently burnt out, as evidenced on Dave Cheungs blog "Not So Ancient Chines Secrets" , and all/most of those impacted are wedding shooters , it raises some questions?
I have a theory that you Wedding shooters would , more than most, have Quickflash enabled for what you do. I think I would too if I needed to shoot that sort of event ...but only IF the flash had efficient OH protection. It would be a logical trade off. The choice being a)Get the shot with some flash at least ,or b) No shot because of recycle times.
Now here is the twist in the current Mitros+ for Nikon dilemna.....Enabling Quickflash would increase the risk of overheating and may well be a partial contributor to the burn outs, albeit only because the OH protection of the Nikon Mitros+ is suspect at this point.?
The strange thing is that you and some other wedding shooters have NOT burnt out flash guns despite using the mitros+ as heavily , but you and others have complained of very very poor recycle times.
My theory at the moment is that there seems to be a related, more serious a trade off which centres on QuickFlash.....
Enabled = HIGH Burnout risk
OR
Disabled = Crazy long recycle times but LOW burn out risk!
Hence my question.......do you have QuickFlash enabled with your Mitros+?
If you have it disabled then that might be a good tip for Mitros+ Nikon users to follow AT LEAST UNTIL the OH/Recycle time issues are resolved through firmware? ..... AT least that way they might still have a functioning Flash to try the new firmware out with...............when it eventually comes ![
If you have had it enabled ....My Theory is Dead!....and you and the others must be just Lucky!
