Triggering Manual Flash
Mar 8, 2013 05:25:39 #
Hi,
I have a Nikon D600 + S800 Flash that did belong to my son before I liberated it .
I am comfortable setting up remote control of the flash when its set to TTL or using manual flash control in the camera.
How do I operate the flash manually controlling flash aperture and output and trigger when the camera fires?
I want to use manual flash and have the flash fire over a narrow area.
Apologies if this is a stupid question but only just started using remote flash.

I just purchased the PocketWizard Mini TT1 transmitter and the PocketWizard Flex TT5 transceiver. They work great. It works both in TTL and manual. I would Google PocketWizard to get more info.

Since you are triggering in manual mode, the solution is easier. Your camera will trip the SB800 when the pop-up flash is set to "Commander" mode. Or, if for some reason the flash is blocked or out of range, try a Wein slave trigger, MUCH cheaper that radio devices and pocket wizards.

Hi MT,
Thanks for this. The Wein slave is a definite , particularly as Wein is my mothers maiden name, wonder if the offer family discounts ?
