I thought I would be able to use any flash on my GH1, as long as I didn't mind manual and maybe full power.
My Canon 540EZ would be great for now, it has swivel and bounce. But I have tried taping contacts, and it still doesn't work.
Is there any way to get this or other non-dedicated flashes to work? Or do I have to buy a m4/3 flash? Also concerned about too high voltage damaging the camera.
Any suggestions? Would a hot shoe to pc cord help?
any modern TTL flash should work in non-dedicated mode, they will be low-voltage flashes (all EZ and EX flashes are low voltage). More than likely the issue is the 540EZ rather than the GH1, flashes of the 540EZ's era were often a little picky about their triggering polarity.
I've always used older Nikon flashes myself, normally an SB-24 or SB-26.
