Hi
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"I've been taking pictures with the fz20 and have been very happy with the results, outdoors. I want to do more indoor photography and was advised to get an external flash, which I did. I got a Vivitar 285hv. I don't know how to use the pc sync cord. I know how to attach it, but don't know what settings to use. Can somebody help me? style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"Thanks! |

To use the sync cord you need one of two things:
camera with sync port on it (which the FZ's do not) or Hot Shoe adaptor with sync port on it. http://www.adorama.com/FAHSPCA.html the only purpose of the pc sync cord is to trigger the flash when the flash is not on the shoe (like on a grip bracket) |

Hi Eddie,
Thanks for replying! Are you sure I can't connect a pc sync cord to my fz20? That's a bummer! ![]() Well, appreciate your help. Thanks!! |

As Eddie said, if you buy a hotshoeadapter (which fits in your hot shoe) it will have a sync port for your sync cord. You can then use your bracket and place your flash off the camera to make the lighting less flat. Works great!
