The Camera Thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well I just got my nikon D80, and I was just wondering is there a way to use the speedlight commander feature without the built in camera firing; or is there a way to eliminate or reduce the reflection off the glass???

see if you can use some foil or something to bounce the flash up.
 
I shoot my d80 at a slight angle to avoid the reflection. However it's hard to avoid it with the built in light. I bought the nikon sb-600 from cameraaddict. com for 170.00. You won't get much glare from that since it's higher up. I want to get the attachment to use the sb-600 with a cord. You can see the results in my thread "some nice shots of my captives". I've only had the camera since wednesday so by no means am I an expert but I haven't put it down since I got it and I bought the field guide which is full of info and great tips. Youtube also has awesome info on the d80 and its possibilities.

this is true the D80 does have a commander mode; the only problem I'm havin with it is the refection i get from the built in flash... I already ordered the another SU800 for my remote flashes.... If I only new I would've kept the one I already had:irked::irked::irked:Oh well......

thanks rallys I did this and it works pretty good; but I think I'll just get another speedlight commander; makes it easier......

or is there a filter that could minimize or completely take the glare away??? polorized or something???
