Flash Delay adjustments limited to about 10 seconds, Phocus 2.6.6

[Chris Gahran]

Alex has reported that the Flash Delay is not working in Phocus 3.0. That may be an issue in Windows. http://www.hasselbladdigitalforum.com/index.php?topic=4498.msg18004#msg18004

I was shooting in a factory the last two weeks. There was limited electrical power so strobes had to be used on slow recycle. I am using Phocus 2.6.6 in 4-shot mode with a CF-22MS.

Flash Delay stopped affecting the intervals between shots after ten (10) seconds causing the camera to shoot before several packs had recycled. Could not open the lens b/c of DOF limitations. Resolved problem by going to 200 ISO and reducing the power output from the packs which shortened the recycle time but I would prefer to expose at 100 ISO. Images at 200 ISO seemed okay.

It appears to me that Hasselblad does not know that sometimes a photographer might need an effective Flash Delay longer than ten (10) seconds.

Nick can you send them an email? Thanks...
