Trying to get a handle on the O Flash. Still not getting it the way I want them to turn out. Not to bad, but I don't think I am getting enough light.
Doug I get this on my metadata:Flash Fired, Compulsory flash mode, Return light detected.
Does this mean I have something in the flash set wrong?
Anyway, here they are.

I was cleaning out the basement today and found 3 big box's of them. My Dad and Mom moved to Florida in the early 70's. So we walk the beaches every time we went down. At least I found some thing to do with them finally! :-D

Here is where I want you to start:
Camera:
1.) Select M mode for Manual;
2.) Set ISO to 400;
3.) Select 1/200-sec at f/22
Nikkor SB-600 Speedlight (or similar):
4.) Select M mode for Manual;
5.) Start at 1/1 = max output
6.) Select 85 zoom for narrowest light pattern (I have no idea if this makes any difference, but it makes sense).

Take test shot.
If test photo too bright, press "-" to drop to 1/2 = half power = one stop less light. If still to light, press "-" again to lower flash output.
If test shot too dark, open aperture to f/16. Open aperture more, as needed.

Shoot subject between 6-inches and 12-inches WD. The greater your WD, the less flash will illuminate subject.

Thanks, I am headed down again tonight to finish. It is our second house. The oldest son was renting it. But he went back to school, so we have to rent it again. So much for storage :-D . I'll keep my eye out for them.
