Settings for D300 and Triggers - 03-11-2011, 07:20 PM


All,
I am having a shoot tommorrow and I was wondering if there are any special setting within the camera or flash? TTL on?

I am using a D300 with SB600 in Softbox. Triggered by Cactus V5's

Thanks

you can go ttl with using the pop up flash on the d300 and put the sb600 in slave mode. You can also go manual if you want if you do not want to use CLS and still control the power from the body.

Why would you want to use the cactus flash with an SB600? You can set it up where you want it and control it from the camera's menu. Easy peasy. You can use the cactus stuff but you will have to manually adjust the flash.
