  • i set up two sb800's according to your video. my slave flash will fire after a 1.5 second delay. have you experienced that? am i doing something wrong? they should fire simulatneously right?

  • Turn off Rear Curtain Sync or Slow Sync to fire the speedlights normally.

  • @Lilkiwiguy87 on my camera's flash setting? i'm using the d3. i don't think i have it on rear curtain or slow sync.

  • You have a $5,000 camera that you don't know how to use? Oh, how disappointing. Yes, your camera has it and this is where you have to sit down and read the user manual.

  • Reply to your comment on: Nikon Creative Lighting System Tutorial First, please do not post comments with the same question all over the channel, thank you.

    Second, there are many ways to do that but we cannot help because you did not give us enough information. What camera and flash are you using?

    Ugh, I`m sorry :\

    Second, I`m using D90 and SB900.

    Thanks.

  • D90 has a built-in commander mode, which allows you trigger the SB-900 wirelessly using the onboard flash as the trigger. For further information, refer to pages D43-D48 in SB-900 user's manual and pages 188-190 in D90 user's manual. We have a video that shows you how: OgzmP2hflB0

  • I have a question:

    can i photo, without putting the flash on the camera? any ways without a Cable?

    Thx for the video

  • Does not matter but we could say SB-900 is easier to operate as a Master flash. SB-900 has a Remote / Master switch and control buttons that are easily accessible than the SB-800.

  • I have SB800s and SB900s and am just getting into the CLS. Does it matter which model I choose as the Master? Will one give me a wider range or better reception? Any reasons to choose one over the other? Thanks!
