    have a look at my video regarding Nikon not Naikon, tell me what you think as i cant understand your point in spelling.

  3. # jwischkaon 06 Jul 2009 at 6:23 am

    Yes, this is possible on a D-90

    Is this possible with a d90?
    I’m about to buy a DSLR and THIS is a reason for me to go for a Nikon, as the Canon ST-E2 costs additional 200€.

    you guys are wacko, who cares NEEKON NYEKON NIPPON, lol who cares, we know what you mean.

    The Europeans and Japanese can pronounce Nikon however they want. But in English, saying “nih kon” is a mispronunciation.

    As the first poster said, “the double p makes the i short” in the word “Nippon.” That’s correct Japanese and also correct English.
    But there is no double “k” in Nikon. Therefore, in *English*, it’s pronounced NIEkon. Ask any English teacher.

    By the way, “Japs” is considered a ****** term, at least here in the USA. Peace. Out. ;)

    but the Japs, who CREATED Nikon, pronounce it with a short “i”.

    even the Euros use the short “i” sound.

    still, the long “i” isnt that bad.

    peace. :)

    Yes, if it were spelled with two “k”s (”Nikkon”), it would be pronounced “Nih-Kon.” Just as “Nippon” with two “p”s has a short i.

    But it is spelled “Nikon” with one “k”; therefore the i is long.

    That’s basic English, which believe it or not, we Americans do speak. ;)

    That’s now the company pronounces it in their commercials “It’s lens makes it a Nikon” with the Ni pronounced like Die.

    You’re basically saying Nikon themselves are pronouncing their own name wrong.

  10. # tipptoggyon 21 Jul 2009 at 4:57 pm

    NIce video.

    BUT when will the Americans learn to pronounce Nikon properly

    The Ni comes from Nippon, (Nippon Kōgaku) the double pp makes the i short not long like a Y . It is Ni Kon not NY Kon.

    So were can i buy a CLS at online mostly?

  12. # jwischkaon 26 Jul 2009 at 7:07 pm

    “Dashes” will cause the on board flash to not contribute to the exposure. On any other setting, the on board flash will contribute to the exposure.

    Thanks for this informative demonstration. I am wondering, would one go about setting the pop-up flash to “dashes”?

  14. # smiles77on 01 Aug 2009 at 3:20 am

    d40 doesnt have CLS. good video tho.

  15. # chrissowaon 03 Aug 2009 at 12:27 am

    firmware update is not over pc, its over a d700 or d3

  16. # sovietspyguyon 05 Aug 2009 at 12:42 am

    Good video, informative and no extra garbage.

    The way youtube ought to be. :)

    the Bible. Great choice!

    You should read Judges it’s actually very funny

  18. # ChicoEdgeon 06 Aug 2009 at 8:00 pm

    Don’t forget that the Nikon F6 (Nikon’s greatest film camera) is also able to work with CLS. Check out the new SB900. The interface is much simpler and it can plug into a pc for firmware updates.

    Very nice, straight forward example. I was always confused as to whether using the popup flash in this case would contribute to the flash - thanks for explaining that!

  20. # jwischkaon 09 Aug 2009 at 10:53 pm

    The setup would be roughly the same. Essentially you would need to position the lights (as you suggest) and then set both SB-800’s to “remote”, and either let them fire in TTL mode or adjust the power individually in the on-camera settings. If you explain exactly what you’re looking for, I can try to put something together.

  21. # jwischkaon 11 Aug 2009 at 3:21 am

    There are different settings for this. In my example, the pop up flash fires to trigger the SB-800. However, you can have the on-board flash fire during the exposure as well. This can be adjusted in the camera flash menu where you set the SB-800 to fire in TTL mode.

  22. # 0zgonon 14 Aug 2009 at 9:25 am

    I think the pop up flash does fire, but the shutter is not open when it fires, and the only purpose of it is to tell the SB-800 to fire. The shutter only opens when the SB-800 fired.

    Can you do a video on a two flash setup, one a key light and the other a fill light, with umbrella?

    thanks

  24. # bbtelon 16 Aug 2009 at 10:24 pm

    Another sweet presentation and clarification for the “manual(ly) confused”

    So the pop up flash did not fire though it was up?

    Thanks
