Isearched the archives but didn't find an answer. So here goes. Is it possible to use an Ikelite AQ/S strobe with a point and shoot such as the Canon A40?
 
As long as the camera does not fire a pre-flash, the Aq/s could be used. If it fires a pre-flash, the strobe will fire and not be able to recharge the capacitor fast enough to flash again when the camera fires the main flash.
 
Thanks, I will check the camera functions to see if it gives a preflash or whether or not I can turn it off. Much appreciated.
