Can you abort the 7 second recycle so you can have the shutter open
for longer than 50% of the time.

I'll try this out the next time we get any sferics worth shooting.

I'd have a play before hand so you know how to set the camera up and
the best settings for the iris so you don't get seriously over exposed
frames. Note lighting photgraphs only really work when light levels
are really low like dusk and at night.

Its probably asking too much of the camera....

But worth a try, getting just one decent shot of a lighting bolt is
very rewarding.
