Today I tried CLS (Creative Lighting System) on my D200 + SB-800. Got to learn on how to set the camera and flash into REMOTE mode.
Here’s the instruction that I thought of sharing and keeping reference for myself:
on D200
- Menu
- Pencil Menu
- e Bracketing/Flash
- e3Buil-in Flash
- c Commander Mode
on SB-800
- Press SEL button for 5 seconds
- Flash menu
- REMOTE
- Press SEL button for 5 seonds
Some tips:
- You must have your built in flash pop up, else it will not trigger the SB-800.
- You can set to have the built in flash disabled, so all flash power will only be from the SB-800 and no light from built in flash.
I’ve tried to disable my built in flash, but it still fires; can you PLEASE share your settings. I’ve set my camera settings :
Commander Mode
Built-in Mode —
Group A M
Group B (not sure what I’m supposed to do here, I don’t have any other additional flash units)
