How to make the flash shoot only once?

Hello,

I am having problems using an external flash that is automatically triggered by my camera´s flash.

The problem is that my D3100´s flash shoots twice. Therefore, the external flash shoots together with the first flash and the not with the second one (the one used to take the photo).

How can I set the camera to shoot only one flash?

thanks a lot,
Ivan

Hi - check that the settings for your flash are not set to Red Eye Reduction - that way it sends out a little pre flash light - which can trigger an external flash .Turn this setting off. Hope this helps :)

Thanks for reply. I tried that but the flash shoots twice in both settings (normal flash or Red Eye Reduction)...
