This is my test......mount flash on F3HP, set shutter on X, f5.6, set strobe on TTL. Then press button on motor drive continuos till flash fails. Do the same thing again except set strobe on Automatic, press button on motor drive continuos, flash keeps going much much longer. I think the reason is on automatic there is no sensor trying to figure out your exposure. sl
