  • my d70s doesnt have the flash menu...only goes up to menu number 9(EV step) please help me here....

  • @mixdude21 You have to enable full menus. I believe the "Simple" menu is the default.

  • What if you don't want the camera flash to fire and just the SB 600?

  • @lg123xyz The camera flash has fire because that how it signals the remote flash to fire. The camera flash doesn't add any exposure though. Notice that the flash fires twice when you take a regular flash picture with the on camera flash, but only once with wireless flash. As for synch speed, I believe it works just like on camera flash. You are still limited to whatever the max synch speed is on your camera.

  • Can more than one flash be used for this setup?

    Do you have to use to built-in flash to trigger the external?

    If so, could you use a mounted external instead?

    Is there anyway to change the flash mode while in this to, say, rear curtain flash or anything like that?

    Sorry for all the questions. I'm really new to this.

  • @ChubbMachine Yes, more than one flash can be used. You don't have to use the built in flash to trigger the external, but that's the easiest way to do it. If you wanted to use the a mounted external, it has to be capable of acting as a master. You should be able to use rear curtain and other features. Hope that helps!

  • what is with all you people who put up distracting music while i am trying to hear what you have to say? low or not, it is an annoyance. Save the music for videos without speech

  • nice video...one question...how do you set up wireless flash without firing the built in flash? thanks

  • Thank yo so much; it helped tremendously. You actually answered all my doubts and questions.

  • Great Vid, Thanx a mil!

  • hi, once the flash is set to fire wireless....how do you go back and set it back to normal mode again? Do I have to go back in the menu and change the setting back to the way it was before, is there an easier way to select back and forth between wireless mode and non?
