I have a hankering to get back into photographing birds, so I went out
today with the K5, a new (for me) Tokina 400 f5.6 (I replaced my
original, fungus infested Tokina) and an AF360FGZ flash on a flip
bracket. I set the camera to aperture priority and the flash to slow
synch. For some reason, the fastest FPS rate I could get was (my guess)
about 2 FPS. At first I thought that the camera was waiting for the
flash to recycle, but it wasn't - it just chugged along at the slow FPS.
The same thing happened in aperture priority and standard synch - slow
FPS. In manual mode, I'd get the usual fast burst of FPS, with the flash
discharging once or twice and then the camera just blasting along till
the flash recycled.
Is this normal behavior? It was jarring to suddenly be working in slo-mo....
