I have, at last, risen to the dizzy heights of managing to own a Canon EOS40D camera. It's big and quite heavy, but works very well.
There's a socket on the side for a flash thingy, called the 'PC terminal'.
What are the limitations for this thing?
I've read of contacts being burned out due to the voltage on the flash gun being several hundred volts and I'd rather not crisp it trying to drive my 1980s flash guns.
Can anyone give me a clue please ?
PS. No, ~I cannot afford an expensive 'Speedlight' or whatever.
