Just wondering, can you do fill flash on the GSN? I would guess you put the ring on auto, but will it sync with the flash?

On mine, I use a small auto flash (Nikon SB-9 - GN14/45), and just close the aperture a stop or so from the what's recommended on the flash. The GSN takes care of the ambient.
