[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 333032, member: 12496"] The D300S manual is downloaded here: [URL]https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16525/kw/D300S/r_id/116678[/URL] What is the flash mode? TTL, Manual, Commander ? What is the camera exposure mode? A, S, P, M ? Nothing affects making the internal flash fire too early.. That is not a possibility. "Dark" sounds as if it is in Manual flash mode without specifying a proper flash power level. Try TTL mode. When you say setting is changed to Slow, all I can imagine is Slow Sync (manual page 175) In camera A or P mode, normal sync, there is a MINUMUM Shutter Speed With Flash, menu E2 (default 1/60 second if using flash). Slow Sync just means this E2 Minimum is ignored in camera A or P mode, meaning no minimum shutter speed. Then it allows the normal slow shutter speed, probably quite slow in dim light, like maybe 1/2 second.... This does not affect the flash or flash exposure in any way, but a slow shutter speed will of course let in much more ambient light. What are these settings that it uses? Shutter speed, aperture, ISO ? A normal indoor picture? Tell us details, what is happening? Exif shows this in a problem image. Normal is front curtain sync, the empty symbol with no word in the box. Then the 1/60 second Minimum shutter speed will apply (in A or P modes). [/QUOTE]
