I found it...need to go to light settings, n the menu, and have all lights selected and then put them in standby mode...this turns them off and on...cool..now that I know what I'm doing....It's sure sweet to be able to control the lights from the camera...I also have my D300 theatered to a computer w/ Camera Contol Pro
You can take a stored preset you like (say Memory 1), then go to ALL>Light Setting> Off and that will power them all down. Then save this as a new setup (say Memory 2). Next time yo use it, select memory 1 and you're ready to shoot . . . select memory 2 to shut the system down.

Thx Paul..will try that..right now I'm just leaving the menu on "light settings" so when I turn on CC I got to menu and just push up the left joy stick and it turns on the lights..then when I want to shut down I go to menu and light settings and push up again onthe left joystick and it shuts them down...got that down really fast.
Also you Einsteins "ROCK" with the CC...LOVE THEM!!!!
I also have a WL X800 and Ulra600....what transciever do I need to operate them with the CC like the Einsteins?

Paul: is the nashville flooding affecting you guys? Looks pretty ugly and some parts of it look worse than what we had in the northeast a month ago...
Absolutely! It's major. I'm in Mobile AL and can't even get back to Nashville until Tuesday because the interstates are under water. I assume my house is still there!
Don't expect to see Fedex or UPS Monday and we will will probably half less than half our employees on Monday. But I think the worst just passed . . . this is probably a 100 year flood.
But our facilitates are all OK and above any water. Many major roads and housing developments are 10' under.
Good luck To Paul and PCBuff Ina and all affected by this storm. Got some heavy rain here in Atlanta this morning but nothing like you are getting hammered with.

Hope your house is ok Paul and your other employees weren't affected as well; I thought you guys might have avoided most of it since I didn't see any mention of it. The 100yr thing is what they said up in the Northeast as well. I'll take being buried by blizzards over floods any day...
They're talking 500 year flood here. Most peeps are in the office today. Our PO is under water so we will have some problems with lights that were sitting there for our repair . . . we'll take care of any damage. I'm not going to be able to get home until tomorrow to see if my house is OK, I'm on high ground but may have a hard time getting there. Hope I have power!

Is that USPS or UPS? Do UPS/USPS even pay out insurance in a flood since it's an act of God?
What's at risk are returns/repairs sent by USPS. Unless they were insured somebody looses - that will be me! UPS and Fedex are secure to the best of my knowledge but we will have sporadic service for a few days. Our local Post Office is about 6 feet under from what I hear.
Probably are. Everything's close to the Cumberland River and a couple of others. Opryland is between two rivers that probably joined. 7" inches is a record 24 hour rain . . . this was over 16".
I am an hour South of Nashville, right on the TN - AL border and we didn't get much of anything including rain. I know we were very lucky after looking at Nashville.
Opryland proper is mostly gone or very heavily damaged, as is the whole historic and financial district near the river front. Just got home from Mobile . Our facilities are OK and production and shipping is proceeding. But we have no air conditioning and it was 89°F today so peeps are pretty frazzled. Two employees lost their homes. A 500 year flood.
Seems the news networks largely ignored it all in favor of some guy with an computer science degree who couldn't even blow up a propane tank and a FEMA staff that didn't bother to order a fire boom mandated in 1994 (probably $100,000) that would have saved the entire gulf from destruction. It all must be Bush's fault.
Sorry for the OT link, but I found this technical article on what happened in the gulf interesting: http://www.drillingahead.com/forum/topics/transocean-deepwater-horizon-1
if you have time for a long read...it was a long story and not as simple as the media portrayed it (not that it makes it any better...I'm still bummed it's going to kill the tuna breeding for the year in that area)-:
Glad to hear your house survived (I assume it did?) Paul and sorry to hear two of your employees lost their homes. Hopefully they have flood insurance (though sadly not many up in the Northeast did because it's horribly expensive)-:
