commercial flash capacitor stored.

Figure, my CANON high performance flash unit has a 800V, 200uF capacitor and
when charged fully is charged to about 650VDC.
Thats almost certainly a possible lethal blow getting hit by that.

Come to think of it, my worse shock i ever received was from a disposable
flash camera when I was disassembling.  

Watch those capacitors!!!!

I once got zapped from a flash capacitor.  that hurt. i dont want to repeat 
that. And i imagine that 1600v would be worse.

a reminder...

be safe use bleeders on your mmc.

it has them now.
