Default Cactus flash trigger?
Anyone using the Cactus V2 wireless flash triggers on a K100D? I got some new toys 540FGZ and the Cactus V2 triggers. The flash is fired wireless using the Cactus just fine in auto mode, but I can't figure out how to enable the flash to fire outside of using auto. Anyone know any answer?

I suppose I could use optical triggering of the 540FGZ using the built-in flash - but that is limiting...

Thanks,
Mike

DOH! The answer is so simple I didn't think of it, but this post was a great help for anyone struggling with this - http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/p...problem-2.html

Just put the flash on manual, PTTL doesn't work.
