http://www.artoftheimage.com A reader wrote in asking me to do some videos on flash for those new to Nikon DSLR cameras. Great Idea! First off in what will be a series of videos on flash, the Nikon SB-600 Speedlite Flash.
@gyulab1 This is to do with the camera, and most cameras only go up to 1/250. its because the flash has to fire after the first curtain that is infront of the senor has opened fully but before the second curtain has started to close, else you will get a black bar. what you need is a ND filter to bring down the available light
I was thinking about getting the sb 400. Now I have decided that I want the sb 600 instead, because I want to do some off camera flash photography and the sb 600 can get me started.
@pjos111 Yes it's possible. Just set the camera to commander mode and set the SB-600 to remote mode to maybe Group A Channel 3. On the camera in the commander settings, set the top row to dashes and the Group A row to TTL or whatever. With the dashes the popup flash will not appear on the final image just a tiny little bit that you can only see shooting for example a mirror.
@pjos111 Yes, with an extended cable, or an SU-800 or you can simply hide the built in flash with an inexpensive SG-31R IR Panel.

@gyulab1 It's a limitation of your camera, actually. On a D7000 it will X-sync up to 1/250, and FP all the way up to 1/8000!
