Hi again , thanks for the pointers, yes it appears to be shutter sync, 
using the flash through the shutter to a flash meter is showing a 3-4
stop difference.

I would like to get the 'realist Video' but i doubt they come in PAL 
format :-(. I need the TDC Colorist I too.

Could you descrime the term 'hammered' a little more technically...

OK I'm holding the hammer now..........

Thanks
