Folks,
Yes. My latest and greatest idea. I'm at the lakes edge taking pictures of the sunset. So into it, next thing you know its dark. Better get back. Oh oh. The car is 1.5 km from the the lake. The trail is now pitch black.
Put your flash on the hotshoe and put it on Permaflash TM mode. Now your flash has literally become a flashlight in this life threatening situation.
But seriously folks, I'm curious to know why don't typical flash units have a mode to keep the light permanently on?
Other than baterry drain, and dismissing the whole flashlight lighting up the trail scenario I do see advantages to this.
