Remote Use of SB-800
Posted: October 7, 2007 - 7:22pm

I am trying to use my SB-800 as a slave to my built in flash on my D-70. I don't see it covered in the manual (or I don't recognize the instructions to do it)and thought I could use it that way.

Basically I am trying to side light my subject with the SB-800 and front light it with the built in flash. For some reason I thought this could be done wirelessly.

I am right about that or just wishing?

Set the camera on commander mode and the flash on slave. I have instructions based on a D200 but the basic settings should match:

Worked out great. Thanks for the information. Now I just have to play around with it to see what kind of results I can expect.
