Hmmmm
Kind of embarrassed, guess I just need to learn my gear better. I have the D300, sb600 and SB 800, guess I will be heading over to the Strobes for Dummies section, or wait is it the Nikon for Dummies section....
Thanks for the response

i better make a trip to the camera shop and see whats on the shelf first hand.
you've got a D60 or D40 ?.. you havn't been able to do any off camera flashes right?
with the D80 and above you can trigger wirelessly as the body acts as a commander.
you are still correct, as far as i understand, the sb600 is still only optical slave. it cant control other light groups
its triggered by the in-camera flash. but you set all the power outputs via the camera body, and this is wirelessly sent to the sb600 during the pre-flash.
if you have a d60/d40 you'll need either an sb800 (its the commander, whichi s triggered by your in-camera flash.. i think)
the sb800 will than command any other sb600's you have
OR, you will need to do what canon folk do. get pocket wizards.. or sync cords. |
