Good evening everybody.
Would it be possible to add to the 7d version of ML the possibility to light up the internal flash one or several times ? It doesn't seem to me that this feature is already available, but I discover ML so please forgive me if I missed something  ;)
This feature would allow us to light up the foreground of a picture like the one below.
It would be great to add the option in the bulb mode : flash "Yes/No" ; if "Yes" number of flashes. I'm not sure that it would be usefull to have a variable interval between the flashes, just one long enough to allow the flash to reload.

Regards
Thierry

No answer means that my request is a nonsense ?

I personally am not longer interested in flash photography, so you are out of luck.

Maybe someone else, but it's unlikely, since I don't even know where to start to trigger the flash.

What i do in these situations is charge up the flash, set M and play till i got the right flash exposure, during the long exposure i set it of by hand or either use a LED panel, results can be better than flash going off connected to the camera.

Or use a flashlight as I suggested in your other post.. do a search on light painting. You're exposure can be very controlled.
