So a simple shorting of a 283's thyristor gate pin won't do it.

In most 'automatic'-mode strobes, the photoresistor controls a short-duration timer which drives a trigger circuit for the thyristor.

It's easy to turn a four-layer p-n-p-n device on, but a true three-pin SCR AKA thyristor requires specific design for gate-controlled turn-off.

I think my statement breaks down when I said that you would short the thyristor when, in fact, you would short the cds sensor connection which controls the scr.
