Roel Online Buy and Sell: On p.1 #1 · SB-800 as an optical slave I own two DSLR's - a Nikon D2x which supports i-TTL and a Fuji S3 which does not (it supports D-TTL). When using the S3, I could put an SB-800 on my camera and use an SB-26 as an optical slave - I would put the S3/SB-800 combo in AA mode and set the SB-26 to trigger from the S3/SB-800. Of course, I would have to manually tweak the flash settings to get the exposure "right". What I am trying to find out is if I can get an SB-800 to trigger optically from another SB-800 on my S3. Of course, I know I won't have i-TTL, however, sometimes when I use my S3 I need some extra light. Any thoughts/suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

Larryry Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #2 · SB-800 as an optical slave The SB800 will work fine as a slave, set it to SU4? mode and be sure the master flash is not doing any pre-flashes Edited on Sep 30, 2005 at 02:42 AM Sep 30, 2005 at 01:44 AM

MPerdomo Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · SB-800 as an optical slave I remember reading that it could do a dumb slave mode. I made a thred a few days ago being pissed about my SB-600 not being able to do this. But anyways, if you can't do it....there are always peanut slaves that are relatively inexpensively obtained Edited on Sep 30, 2005 at 02:42 AM Sep 30, 2005 at 02:17 AM

Roel Online Buy and Sell: On p.1 #5 · SB-800 as an optical slave Just tested it out... put the remote SB-800 in SU4 mode and make sure the master flash does not do a pre-flash -- works like a charm. Thanks again! Sep 30, 2005 at 02:42 AM
