My Di622's TTL is accurate only when the flash is tilted.
When pointed straight, it often underexposes the image.

But when tilted up, left, or right, it's just fine.

You should play with ur flash compensation.. Adjust it in ur camera....

Yeah, that's what I do sometimes.

i love playing the di622 flash with manual control . 
usually set 3 bar of the power for most of my shot , unless the subject is really far
*
3 bar ? blink.gif
I usually do full bar or 1 step down from full bar when bouced off the ceiling... blink.gif

4 to 5 seconds oso consider fast.. But it's kinda impposible.. I own both flash my self, SB600 full flash recharge also take around 4 ~ 5 seconds, and my Di622 takes around like 8 ~ 10 seconds..
If u wanna measure ur speed of Di622, when u hear the beeping sound that indicates full recharge, else that will be not full recharge...

I thought when the "Pilot" light is green then it's fully recharged ?

Been reading reviews on the D3100, the sensor seems really great. Close to D700's ISO or maybe better @_@.

wahahaha... i only tried A mode for a while, then i'm not satisfied with the result (actually my stupid mistakes for not turning on the flash causing the camera setting the shutter speed very slow) then I go straight to Manual... tongue.gif

I only used auto mode for a while then I'm playing with manual mode and manual focus already... tongue.gif but those things are hard to master... shooting static object would be nicer with manual... but when shooting subjects that tends to move around or won't stay at one place for a long time, for sure will go to auto focus but still manual mode... manual mode + manual focus will make you lose the precious shot just to find the correct setting tongue.gif

piccas spammmmm~~~

No wor.. Nikon box. Nikon insert. And the seller used D60, tested it again on D3000 after he got home....

Then I think it's the flash itself that is giving you problem. wink.gif

QUOTE(User_Xp @ Sep 5 2010, 07:47 PM)
a high speed sdhc is a must for my d40?

or it just a same as the free 2gb nikon sd card?
*
I don't really know ahout memory cards but I maybe wrong so correct me if I'm wrong.

SDHC = Secure Digital High Capacity
It's pretty much self explanatory.

But SDHC have classes ? rclxub.gif
The higher the class, the faster the read/write speed of the card.
Making HD video recording and continous shoot possible.

Personally I'm using a class 2 on my D3000 and I'm satisfied as I don't use continous that much and it doesn't have video recording. blush.gif

for me, when i started to experiment with the modes, i used a compact camera first (powershot a460)

then after i understand what each mode does, i got a dslr biggrin.gif

imho, getting a dslr just to look cool (and using auto mode all the time) is not wrong oso, but quite a waste tongue.gif

Getting a DSLR just to look "cool" is a disgrace to the photography industry IMHO. doh.gif

Hey guys, wanna ask.
After I got my 18-105, should I sell my 18-55 off or just keep it as backup ?
