Hi all,

Never notice this before but I just happen to see it yesterday...

When I use the 5600HS flash on the A2, and when I turn the lens to 28mm (35mm equiv) the focal length register on the 5600HS panel is 17mm (yes, I have to pull down the WA converter)

I have to turn the lens barrel to 35mm to get 28mm reading on the flash..

Is it normal? But flash and everything seems to works fine and meter is ok.

Any idea why that happen?

Yup this is normal. I think this is mentioned somewhere in the A1/A2 user-guide.
