Message: <blockquote data-quote="hrstrat57" data-source="post: 332994" data-attributes="member: 27586">I just fixed the same problem in my D300.Probably need to reset the mode for flash....this is done by pressing the flash button and turning the main control wheel on the back...I used the LCD menu feature to watch the change While holding down the flash button you see a square on the right of the display. Turn the control wheel while holding down the flash button on the side of the prism until the square display box is clear. Make sure flash is set for TTL and sync speeds are 250th and 60th respectively and you should be good to go....the mode is probably set to rear at the moment as mine was...I also decrease the flash power by .07 this is done by the same flash button, refer to owners manual....it is a bit too powerful for my liking....It now works awesome! I was sweating it big time until I figured it out....I know how your uncle feels.Another top tip if he is missing either the owners manual or the quick start manual (mandatory!) he can go to KEH and purchase lightly used copies..Also the other post I made in this forum regarding the video tutorials he should check that out, got me up and running quick. It is a real pro camera not a prosumer so it has a lot of capability in the menus.....which is where all the fun comes in, learning all sorts of tricks I will probably use twice! He is going to love it what a piece of kit! I plan on adding the D700 real soon, same camera with a full frame sensor.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
