On the unit that I was using yesterday it is: Enable
On the unit that my assistant was using: Disabled
I thought I had them both set to: Enable
@#!)!....that sort of shoots my theory down
Hmmm...maybe not!..... but certainly doesn\'t prove it either!
If you have been using the one in the \"enabled\" state most, then it does prove that you are less hard on gear than the many that have burnt theirs out!
That\'s probably because of your experience and a more selective, patient approach to \"getting the shot\",.......as opposed to the \"machine gun and strafing\" methods of the less selective, impatient , newbie , and now \"Burnt Out Mitros+ \" Nikon shooters.
FYI
I have since tested the difference enabling QuickFlash makes to my Mitros+ for Canon and it underlines how big an impact it would have on OH risk, if shooting in rapid fire mode for an extended period. Note also my unit is with the latest firmware included updated OH protection. Without protection .....who knows!
Shooting Manual flash @ 1/8 power with my 5d3 I got the following:
@ 6fps
Disabled = 4 off before a miss and no discernible heat from flash lens
Enabled = 9 Off before a miss, and noticeably warm flash lens.
@ 3fps
Disabled = 9 off before a miss and no discernible heat from flash lens
Enabled = 21 Off before a miss, and noticeably warm flash lens.
