[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 167501, member: 13754"] Evening guys. On this subject; I'm hoping you can help me out too :) On my previous Pentax's, there was zero options for wireless TTL. If you wanted wireless, it's full manual or nothing. (Mind you P-TTL isn't worth wasting your time on anyway). But, in the this wonderful new world on Nikon, I'm getting a bit lost. I use off-camera flashes every now and again for some home studio stuff. Usually two flashes. There seems to be 3 ways to go... Using 'Commander mode' and a good Nikon flash (I have a 910). I've played with this, but no matter what I do the onboard flash ruins the exposure. Using triggers (eg Pocket Wizards/Yonguon 622's). I'm assuming these work just like the manual triggers (CowboyStudios) I used on the Pentax (I actually used them the other day with the D800) except they pass thru TTL info to the flashes. But I cant seem to find where you set the group exposure compensations? Does the camera going into 'commander' when using these? The last, and where I'm really lost, is the SU-800. As far as I can tell, this does the same as the built-in 'commander mode' without having the pop-up flash ruin the exposure?? Cheers guys. [/QUOTE]
