Can anyone please explain to me how I can make AF-assist to come OUT OF THE HOT SHOE at all times vs FLASH AF ASSIST? Yes, I switched the trigger.

Moving the switch to "On" seems to work in my case with the SB-800 and D600. Perhaps your unit is defective?

Thanks so much for your suggestions! As I mentioned in my previous post, I've used locking pre-focus when shooting sports, and that works fine. For grandchildren, though, it doesn't work--their direction (especially distance to or from the camera) is likely to change wildly, so pre-focus doesn't work as well. If they're running toward you, for example, I've tried using the AF Tracking, but getting that first lock on their faces is a real challenge. 8O

I had the same problem trying to use the camera in auto mode. It popped up, i think every time i turned the camera on in the auto mode, but it wouldn't fire, even in a completely dark room. Yes, the flash was set to auto. It seemed to work fine in other modes. Every camera i've run across fires the flash automatically when used in auto so i figured there was something wrong with the one i recieved.

I am having issues with auto focus inside and out. Inside it will occur on most settings and outside it happens a lot in manual when I am trying to shoot macros but it happens in other settings as well. Can't figure out if it's something I'm doing or if there is something wrong with this particular camera but it is becoming incredibly frustrating. Any thoughts?

I have an A6000 with the same Sony multi interface hotshoe. The flash itself will fire from the hotshoe, but the wireless triggers that go with it will not. I am trying to find a solution for this problem, using either adapters or a yn rf-602 trigger in between. I've read on some forums that the rf-602 and rf-603II triggers work. You'd just have to put the run 2 triggers.Post a solution if you find one. The flashes are great, btw.

The flash works differently with different settings of course, but I have had no issues with it thus far. I also have a couple of old flashes from when I had my 35mm camera and they both work on the hotfoot on top. There are so many different settings with this camera you can usually find one that works for a lot of different situations, plus if a person is familiar with the manual settings you can do it yourself. I have taken pictures of the moon, grandkids, birds. I really do like this camera.

The flash is fairly quick, but overheats if you shoot too quickly(10 shots in secession at full power) Full manual, no auto. Although it does have a slave mode.

Get off of Auto. Shoot in Program mode, and you can use fill flash. Set flash to "always on" in Program. That is "fill flash." Turn it off when you don't need it.

The trigger that is mounted to your camera's hot shoe needs to be set to TX, and the trigger mounted to your flash needs to be set to TRX. Also, open the battery compartment on both triggers and make sure that they are set to the same channel. Assuming that you are shooting in manual, you shouldn't need to adjust any camera settings.

You aren't supposed to have flash turned on in camera, leave it off, test the light by pressing it manually. Typically doesn't work on full auto.

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

Actually just looking on the boards here I found out the answer. I had it set to Burst Mode in the settings because I was trying out all the features the week before. So even on the IA setting, it would not take photos with flash. I am sure that was somewhere in the manual or it might just be a known photography thing.

Which camera are you using? Which lens are you using? Some of the lenses have switches on the barrel. For those which do not , you should find the "off" in the same place where you select the stabilization mode (i.e. mode 1, mode 2). Look under the Rec Menu. It should be there. Without knowing what items you are attempting to work with, that is about as specific as I can get.

There is a switch on the back of the camera towards the top, above the display screen, if you switch it the flash will pop up and then it should work since there is a sensor on it, and if it doesn't work right away I noticed that if you pull the switch again (while the flash is up) you can basically toggle the flash on and off while it's in the up position. The flash on this camera is not exposed, it is a pop up, so unless the flash was up to begin with and still wasn't working, you probably just had your flash in the off position. For a better explanation you can take a look in your Nikon Manual, go to the index, and search flash. There should be all you need to know right there. Hope I helped :)

Make sure your flash is set to ettl, thats the way you can make changes.to the flash, even for manual flash.

In program mode if you turn the flash off it stays off! In auto normal mode if it is dark & you go to take a picture & the flash doesn't pop up, there is a malfunction!
