moving to the 40d from pentax (which has a handy digital preview, so I can check the strobes before taking a picture, with a histogram overlaid).Can the 40D do this? or do I have to take the picture to have the flash fire?Thanks, ad

However, there's little benefit to the former. It takes 1 second to press the 40D's erase button and confirm button before taking the second, "real" shot.David
