Please help, I am using it with my Nikon D40X. It flashes in sync with the camera, but the camera is leaving the shutter open to long

What is happening that you feel the shutter is being left open too long? Are you shooting in manual mode? I know the only issue I had with this flash was cannot shoot with a long shutter because it blacks out the photo. Is that what you're having?

You may be using the wrong shooting mode in the camera. I prefer to use fully manual for absolute control, although I usually precede that with a pre-programmed auto shot just to see the vicinity of the shutter speed and aperture settings before I switch to manual mode and adjust the settings to my liking.

Ya It does that, Camera doesn't detect this flash properly, It's uses setting as if your using the camera without flash, I use it only in manual mode or slave, If you use it in shutter control mode, I will try to increase the iso and Open the apature, So Just use manual mode only.

I've only used this with Canon flashes. Unfortunately you will probably have to return this and buy a cold shoe stand specific to Nikon.

I don't have that problem. Your camera must have a defect. You should return it if you can.

You can set the synch speed at 1/125 and you should be fine. Also check your curtain on the camera. Sometimes people have the curtain set to the beginning of the flash and some at the end. Experiment tithe that if the 1/125 is problematic. A fast shutter isn't really necessary.

I am using this software for other camera's. Try using Blue Iris software or another software package. Should allow better management.

Haven't noticed that problem specifically, however, the shutter lag is horrendous on either alkaline or lithium and might be related as I leave the setting at auto flash most of the time.

I have purchased two of these. And both work very well on my Nikon D800. Make sure the light is flashing red to show it is working. When the shutter button is pressed the light becomes blue.

No, it's not normal, it should work. Has you checked the firmware versions in camera and lens?

ok so this particular camera gives you that option? I don't have this camera. I'm looking to buy it and that's one thing that would make or break the purchase. I didn't know that's why it double flashes, thanks.

I have two of theses flashes and i use my SB 900 to trigger then. These units have specific modes - one for Nikon and one for Cannon. You just need to make sure you are in the Nikon mode and you should be good to go.

Thankyou! I haven't used my camera in several months because of this same problem. I followed your suggestions. It took a few tries, but it is now working!! Just in time for Christmas!

I can not answer the question directly, but I would suggest the party go to the Nikon web site and try topull up the Reference Manual for this camera. There is a section called "Easy Auto Mode" that may addressthis issue. It is to detailed for me to included it in this response.

I'm sorry but I've never experienced this problem with my camera. Try contacting the manufacturer pentax.

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

Most likely it's a faulty cable. Make sure all connections are screwed on tight. Or the triggers won't fire. Make sure the trigger meets the hot shoe 622 (n). N = nikon.

So far on my Pentax K1000 it flashes each time I take a picture requiring a flash, I guess that's its internal mode sending a signal thru the hotfoot.
