OK, who's got a D70?
Discussion
Well here we go.
Imagine you're pointing the camera in a room, and the light is a bit poor. Say you're pulling 1/10 sec at max aperture. If you pop the flash up, you'd expect the shutter speed to go up to at least 1/60 (synch speed is 1/60 - 1/500). Indeed the manual says that this is so, on P and AP settings.
However, when I try this the shutter speed drops to 1"+ !! The flash is set to 'normal' but it's as though I'd selected slow synch. Hence the flash fires but you get camera shake too. If I select Auto, it's fine and behaves as it should: it's just on P and A. I have no EV dialled in.
Any ideas?
