[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 324592, member: 12496"] Camera menu E1 - select one of the Auto FP modes. This is the name Nikon calls HSS. It is called Auto because it is FP mode ONLY if the actual shutter speed is faster than this menu. It is still regular flash mode if actual shutter speed does not exceed that menu. Meaning, it can suddenly switch modes quickly by itself if shutter speed varies. It does not zoom automatically with lens if off camera. You can manually zoom it, but most off camera applications (like umbrellas) normally have flash closer than camera, so you will want wide 24mm coverage. S1 slave mode is Manual flash. Aperture and ISO are "Don't Care" in manual mode. Camera exposure cares of course, but you simply set whatever flash power level you need and want. SL slave mode is controlled by the Commander menu at the camera. HSS (Auto FP) should work in SL Slave mode off camera. Commander controls it. The only reason for the flash to know aperture is for the range displays on the LCD. Manual power is manual power level regardless of range, and the camera controls TTL. Some flashes do have an "Auto" mode where they can independently monitor and control the flash, and they need to know camera aperture and ISO settings, and they will have menus to set these settings when off camera, but this one doe not have that mode.
