[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 108920, member: 8635"] This may have nothing to do with your problem but you might check it out. On the D7000 you can adjust the power of the on board flash and it may be possible that you have accidentally turned it down and it is not powerful enough to reach the distance this way to set off the remote flashes. I don't know if it has anything to do with your problem but it would be easy to check. I will cut and past how to do this from my tips thread so you can check it. It may be different or not even work on the D700. Tip #2 in my thread [COLOR=Magenta][B]Nikon built in flash adjustment[/B][/COLOR] I learned something new today and thought I would pass it on. Some of you probably already know this but I have to believe that there are many that don't. Want to adjust the power of the on camera flash for a Nikon D7000! [COLOR=Magenta][B] Here is how you do it[/B][/COLOR] Press the info button down so you can view the rear screen. Now hold down the button that makes the on camera flash pop up. Next while holding that button down turn the finger wheel button on the front of the camera. This allows you to turn the power of the on camera flash down by up to 3 stops or to also increase it by one stop. When taking pictures up close, having the ability to lower the power of the on camera flash will be very helpful and help you to keep from over exposing as much. Hope this is new information to a few folks out there like it was to me. I am doing this on my Nikon D7000 but it may also work on other models, Jeff REMEMBER like all settings that you change now and then, be sure to change it back when you are done or it could drive you nuts!!!! __________________ [/QUOTE]
