Comment on Nikon D800 CLS issue – feedback from Nikon HQ ! by Mike

I have the problem. I used the D800 with a SB600 and two Sb200 – with my D80 worked every time with my D800 worked then nothing. Would only fire if in commander mode I set Groups A and B to — and fired just the internal flash in TLL – which is obviously a waste of time as this is the same as just TTL. Hope this gets fixed soon!

As I wrote in the update – it seems as if the problem has not vanished for all users. Some people still have the issue. It is a very tiring story… Contact customer support and bug them about the CLS function, file a support case ! Only this way we will have enough impact so that the engineers over in Japan will tend to it.

I was very excited to read that this helped with your D800 – unfortunately this didn’t help in my case. I just upgraded to the new firmware today (A1.01 and B1.02) and my built-in flash did not trigger the SB600 and SB800 units reliantly. Only about 50% of the shots triggered the slave flashes under the following conditions, even after the upgrade: CMD mode for built-in flash, built-in set to – -, and group A and B set to M mode. It seems that I can set off the flashes reliantly if I set the built-in flash to either M 1/128 or TTL -3.0. A work around that is not pretty, but will have to do for the moment.

(By the way, this is the same flash set-up that I used with my D300 – this worked perfectly for me. Too bad the D800 seems to have issues that shouldn’t be there.)

Newsflash…. If the 36 Megapixels bugs you so much, why not just shoot in a lower res???

Comment on DigitalRev TV Competition by Layne Czarnota

DSLR Camera. An important tip to consider with photography is that photography is one case where you might be at the mercy of the tools you use. This is important to consider because there is only so much you can do with a non dSLR camera due to processor and lens limitations. Invest in a DSLR camera. The single best thing you can do to improve your photography is to purchase a good camera. A digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera allows you to use lenses specific to the type of photography you are pursuing, and offer the ability to control every setting.`

I just had the same issue on a test shoot and was completely baffled. Its not good to hear that Nikon have not sorted it yet I ve have not as yet tried the alternative. Can anyone recommend any remote triggers other than pocket wizards.
