Hi all, is this flash add on can be use in all (fastport) SE mobile or does it need menu inside the phone to activate it? My wife Z610 needs help in lighting department. I also think my K800i need stronger flash for group foto! Thanks!

Edit: darn, just realised that it is almost impossible to use it with Z610.

Yeah I saw that page as well but does it mean it is imposible to use other than listed? Does anyone ever tried it with K800i?

Someone tried it with the K800 but it didn't work. The reason is that it would probably overexpose the photos if two flashes were used.

So he did say overexpose meaning both flashes (builtin and external) contributed to the photo. I understand that this must be used properly (only when you try the built in flash does not give enough light) as the k800 will not aware and include the second flash in its exposure calculation. Well as long as it fire then I may buying this. It is quite cheap anyway.

the accesory brings a new menu item: flash. As k800 already has it, I doubt it is compatible.

This is what I fear. I hope it is just a dumb fire when clicked flash type or a slave flash (quite imposible).

Hi, can you post more pics that are uncompressed/resized. I'm trying to make my mind up weather i should buy one. Also is there lag between pictures (energizing the flash)

thanks in advance
