The rest went without flash lol, pumped ISO for it xD. She was from Help College, When u shoot in PC lighting condition, u use which mode for flash? Rear, slow or normal? Hmm....

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.

hi all... newbie in DSLR joining too... got my first DSLR (Nikon D3000) last 27 august... feeling good with it now... been learning the basics of what is aperture, shutter speed and more stuff since the days of compacts, now only got chances to practice and i am more satisfied with my shots compare to any compacts i have ever used... no regrets spending money on DSLR... still, there are lot of things to learn... recent discussion on the flash just reminded me how i hate using flash when i used compact cameras as it always make my picture overexposed or having hotspots... if it really is dark, i resort to my phone's torchlight to make it better

The result quite ok,but since i using d3000 now, i just play with flash compesation This post has been edited by cebi: Sep 1 2010, 03:26 PM

QUOTE(reveur @ Sep 1 2010, 11:31 AM) Personally, I would go for Lens instead of flash. Don't ask me why, preference maybe? I don't own a flash. Don't plan to buy one anytime soon too... Yeah, I think I will just go for the lens instead. Thanks!! I hardly use flash too. Btw, can SB-600 set up for strobe? Flash noob here.
