[QUOTE="stevebobb, post: 168074, member: 13314"] Hi thank you for investigating, I don't know how I missed that note on page 107, must be word blindness...trying to look at too much to quickly........But that's a really good that you told me you can have multi flash shots with hot shoe flash, I tried that myself, and it works as expected, I also used my off camera Yongnuo yn622-N flash triggers, and it worked also. i'm glad you have the same result as my camera when using the pop up flash..as it proves my camera is working as the manual says.. I only found that out myself, when on a trip, and my Speedlight wasn't working, and had to use the pop up in a hurry.. Yeagh your right I am sure Nikon designed multiple flashes only for external Speedlight's, probably to protect the main battery of the camera itself.. Great a mystery solved, and wont have to call Nikon.. Yeagh the "Interval timer has a start now" option, but I really needed a delay for my purposes, (like the self timer) as when you click (right now) it's immediate and starts taking pictures, just wished it had the option of a 0-10 second delay, so you can have enough time to get in front of the camera so the camera can focus correctly........But nothing is perfect.....I have a work around now, which is, don't use the pop up for multiple flashes. Use the Speedlight, as I use it for "bracketing" when testing the camera.. Thank you again for all your help.. [/QUOTE]
