I Disabled the Pre-Flash, anyone else?

[MrDroidi]

That pre-flash pulse thing I turned it off since I don't really use the flash often, is this a bad idea? or did you do it also?

The biggest difference I think is that it will be harder to focus in low-light

I ALWAYS keep the pre flash on. It helps the camera focus better and faster! Flash on or off, the pre flash works wonders!

How did you disabled that pre-flash, i don't think that's possible, only the small led for focus i guess. I want to sync my wireless other flash in slave mode, but it responds on the first flash, so it does not work, and the images are still dark.

I have it disabled unless it's a low-light portrait, otherwise I prefer to set focus manually when I can

How do you disable the pre-flash? afaik the only option is focus light.
A pre-flash is a lesser flash before the actual flash for TTL exposure corrections.

Agree with above, the ability to disable pre flash would be great!

Wireless flash... oh god...............
damn it would make 1020 a totally studio capable camera and make a serious threat to DSLRs.

And Bluetooth remote shutter capabilities!

I think by pre-flash he meant the light that shines before the xenon flash fires; in this case the focus assist light

There is an app called tap&shoot to take pictures remotely!
