It can be set for multiple groups of flashes. Say group a is ttl and b is at 1/16 power. You can turn on one or more groups at a time. That may be what it is talking about. Someone needs to publish an Englsh-Chinglish dictionary.

Somewhere I have a Nikon S instructions manual that says, "To picture take, down push here."

I think Godox writes manuals for Carnack the Magnificent or other psychics.


After looking at a few videos here's what I found. Basically its if you have multiple shooters. In the 1st mode the trigger only sends a trigger to the strobes leaving the power settings at their last setting. In the multi-mode, the trigger sends power settings before the actual trigger allowing 2 shooters to use the same lights with different settings. Thankfully I'll never use that feature, and it also explains why it didn't matter which mode I set it on.

You are definitely correct about the authors of the manuals. Sheeeeeeeesh, although most imported electronics are about the same level of English.

Thank you for your reply, but I think I have a good understanding of that feature now.

Yup. Just tried it with Teams and Webex. No Joy.
SW is crap. and so is Nikon support. Just deleted it to make room for some better SW. Any suggestions?


That's a shame, but I'm sure Nikon will eventually update the utility in time. In the interim, I think your only option would be to purchase a dedicated webcam such as Logitech. I'm unaware of any other software that will allow a Nikon camera to function as a webcam.

Maybe try a different cable ??? Nikon says your camera SHOULD work.

supported digital cameras: Z 7II, Z 7, Z 6II, Z 6, Z 5, Z 50, D6, D5, D850, D810, D780, D750, D500, D7500, D7200, D5600, D5500, D5300 and D3500.

I installed the app on both my desktop and laptop (both HP running W10 porfessional). Tried it through ZOOM and it would not work with my D7200 on either computer. I see the Webcam software logo on ZOOM but nothing more.
Nikon instructions don't exist. Just glad the SW was free since for me, it is worthless


I'm sure you tried this but....... you did change to the Nikon camera in Settings right ???
I was surprised at the lack of settings with this software. There are NONE. Its more like a USB Driver where there are no options to set.

This is correct , it refers to one flash or many flashes being used together. I own nine Godox/Flashpoint strobes and love them and use them often in multiple flash setups.

You should google it, there are countless good youtube tutorials on how to set up these flashes and triggers. here is one.

Rob Hall has many youtube tutorials on how to set up and use Godox/Flashpoint strobes and triggers:

Also you can call Adorama Camera and they have a Flashpoint hotline to answer any questions. Flashpoint is the Adorama naming for all their Godox strobes and triggers.

A Followup. I Found a Rob Hall video from the links you sent. Specifically this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bbwv_e4W3k It TOTALLY explained the feature I was confused with. Thank you so much for shedding some light (pun intended) on this issue.

Problem Solved.

Thank you so much. I love the godox system as well, in addition to the V860II, I have an AD600 and 2ea of the AD200's. They work GREAT, but I cant seem to see any difference regardless of how I set this option. Oh well, I Appreciate your response, I guess I have to work a bit harder at understanding this.

The manual is referring to "One Additional Flash (Slave) being triggered" or Multiple Slaves being triggered. It has nothing to do with people.


Brian, you might be correct, although to me that's NOT what the manual seems to be saying. Even that doesn't make sense to me, why would that mode take more power? Its still only sending out 1 triggering signal to fire multiple speedlights.

(to quote Monty Python, " My Brain Hurts")

Thanks for your reply though

I have to tell you I don't know. Adorama sells a lot of these units if you can't get an answer from Godox. I get the impression they are talking about more than one photographer at the event. Also you could try asking the Angry photographer. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVcxJ9k14bi__-uA1cGkEcA He owns some Godox equipment & pretty tech savy when it comes to equipment.

Godox support where you can ask a ? http://www.godox.com/EN/Q&A.html


I May have to go that route, Thank you. I just figured with all the people using Godox Speedlites and triggers on this forum someone had a quick answer.

Thanks again, Gary

Tried it tonight on a zoom meeting. Meh, I was sort of underwhelmed. I experienced occasional freezing of the video stream with my D810 which otherwise seems to perform flawlessly. Additionally, the available window or screen sizes are different than on my laptop camera.

It is crystal clear though. Its a start.... kudos to Nikon for following Canons lead

I Need help understanding a setting on my Godox Trigger. Under the "Shoot" function, there is an option for "One-Shoot", or "Multi-Shoot". I've attached a screen shot of the applicable page in the manual. What in the heck are they talking about here? How is a triggering signal optimized for Single Person or multi person photography? I'm missing something in their explanation. I Love the Godox system, but the manuals are less than stellar.

I have a Canon 580 Ex ll speedlight that has been giving me problems. When being turned on the screen appeared, but the pilot light did not turn on, and it would not fire. I also have a 430 EZ unit I had been using as a slave. It wasn’t working either. The batteries in both tested good with a meter. Fearful that both had died, I call a service person at Canon, who asked questions, and then suggested I switch batteries
Out, and Shazam, both units now work. Why, I don’t understand, but I am grateful for the suggestion from a very kind tech. Who’d a thunk it?

Do the 580 & 430 take the same pack or battery holder? Maybe you somehow switched them by mistake.

Unlucky2 thanks for that info.

How big is it at arms length? The size of a penny? Larger smaller? I have not been able to see it yet.


I Can tell you this about viewing. If you don't have dark skies forget it. You just wont see it. The pictures I've taken of it look so much more vivid than I could see in person. You almost have to strain to see it. It does NOT come up from the horizon, it just magically seem to materialize about midway between the bottom of the Big Dipper and the horizon once its dark enough. Initially when you see it, it looks like a faint star with a slightly smeared tail. At first I thought it was a bug splatter on my windshield. Size-wise, its like any other star in the sky. The amount of tail visible depends on how dark it is.

The good news is: once you see it, you can't un-see it ! It doesn't seem to move much either. Stays in one place for quite a while until it fades away. Total viewing duration maybe 1-1/2 hrs maybe more.

I found it very difficult to focus on it because it was so faint, I could just barely see it in the viewfinder of my D810

Hope this helps

I have don panoramas in Lightroom before and it has worked just fine.
Any idea why it keeps telling me it can not merge these 4 photos? I used the same technique as other times.
I took several versions of this and none work. I tried just merging 2 that did not work... I see there is a lot of overlap, so I took out the 3rd one and still will not work.
Thanks!
I have not processed these in any way yet except to turn into JPEG for posting.


I dont know why you seem to have had problems, it appeared to work fine for me without ANY adjustment other than a final crop.

When you look at it, you almost need to question if its more of a modified motorcycle, or an auto missing 1 wheel. Dang its even got Nitrous on it. Nope, not something I'd want to ride. Rode a Boss Hoss for a demo once. It had a Chevy 350 motor on a more conventional type frame, and it wasn't all that nimble or comfortable to ride. I Gotta believe this handles more like a car than a Bike.

Great Pic though Voss.

BTW.... did you notice his GoPro on the upper wing? Chances are he got a pic of YOU getting his pic !

I managed to get this D810 with grip and two batteries along with these three lenses today, all for $1570.00 including tax.

I am one happy person. I picked these up at an estate sale today.


FANTASTIC DEAL !

Considering the Body alone is probably worth around a grand, Paying $570 for the lenses extra battery & grip is great. You did good. Even if its "grey market" who cares.
