[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 220404, member: 12496"] Too dark to see is something else, a sync problem (not simply underexposure). Was the flash actually firing? Wild guess - Possibly you may be confusing SU-4 Remote mode with wireless Remote for commander? Nikon likes to call both of them Remote. That could easily explain it. The remote flash must be in its REMOTE mode (not in TTL mode and NOT SU-4 mode). Then ALL controls are in the Commander menu (nothing on the flash except Channel and Group). See this Nikon Fast Start for detailed SB-700 instructions.

Must be clear direct line of sight. [/QUOTE]
