    I, like some others, am pretty ignorant about how to program the “settings” on my speed light (SB600 – wish I had the SB900, BTW). Could you tell us more about your flash settings (and why you chose them) for different photographic scenarios?
    Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Cheers!

    The built in flash can still affect shots if shot up close. Nikon makes a product, sg3-IR, that blocks the flash but still let’s the IR signal through. The IR is what communicates with the speedlights.

  19. FinlandApollo says:

    It flashes but it doesn’t affect to the picture. The built in flash fire because it commands other flashes.

    Trying to fire an SB900 wireless without inbuilt flash , i tried using turned my inbuilt flash off in the flash commander mode, but where i’ve turned the inbuilt flash to — the comp mode next to it still shows 1/1 and i’ve got a feeling this needs to be 0 for the inbuilt flash not to fire , need you suggestion dom .

  21. pjos111 says:

    Does the built in flash fire? Can you explain the process?
