I am old and retired and have no idea what sitrep is !
Shot time is faster in the no flash mode than the flash mode [/q, I guess there is more checking to do in the flash mode.
With the new build that you have, the SDM code does not distinguish between flash and no flash.
In fact, it jumps over the check for flash charged.
So, there is nothing else that can be done.
is there much point in doing that now as all seems to work OK
No.
There is one option, you can turn-off the flash and use some electronics to trigger an external flash as soon as the USB signal goes high .. or rather more accurately after a slight delay.
That requires some knowledge of course and there are dangers with older flash units.
The release version of SDM will still expect flash to be off otherwise it introduces a bug, I think with the Ricoh switch.
