R6 Flash Procedures? Please guide me to use the easiest settings for using the Metz 54MZ-3 Flash w/ the R6. Do I leave it in P mode or F mode ? Do I use the x setting on the dial or do I use the 30-p setting? One more question, if the ok light lights up red after exposure does this mean exposure is not right ? Any advise on this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank You all very much.

Alex, the R6 has no P mode or F mode or 30-P setting on the shutter dial. Are you sure you have an R6, or is it an R8?

Sorry for the Error. It is the R8.

Thanks Jay.......

I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER ON THE R8 QUESTION, BUT I DO HAVE A FLASH QUESTION? CAN I USE A NIKON SB28 FLASH ON A LEICA R7? IF SO, HOW? IF NOT, ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?
