[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 580455, member: 12496"] Looks like a nice flash. There are English descriptions at [url=http://www.pixelhk.com/Proshow.aspx?id=380]X800N Standard--PIXEL ENTERPRISE LIMITED[/url] I am not familiar with it (so if I had known, I would have stayed out of it. :) ), but it appears to support a Nikon-Commander type interface, with master, and remote A, B, C groups. I don't know how radio might affect that, but may not change anything? The master concept requires some direct camera to flash communication, which may or may not pass through the radio system? Optical infrared is directly to the flash. I am familiar with the Nikon Commander system. In the Nikon system, the remotes are set to Remote mode (NOT to TTL mode), and all control is done in the Commander or Master menu. In that system, the camera Flash Compensation control affects all flashes. Also individual TTL flashes can be compensated in the Master menu for that group, which is added to any camera Flash Compensation. Also Exposure Compensation adds to these, but newer camera models have an E4 menu that can isolate EC from the FC. There are third party radio triggers that try to mimic this with all flashes instead set to TTL mode, which you'd think could be about the same if the flash triggers were individually addressable. If flashes are in TTL mode, then the flash body menu supports another flash compensation input, which is added to the camera Flash Compensation, *IF* the flash can communicate directly with the camera. My suspicion about your issue is that it might not pass through a radio trigger? Such flash menu compensation is not enabled or possible in Remote mode with Commander... the camera and commander menu handles all control. [/QUOTE]
