[QUOTE="Zender, post: 817801, member: 53116"] [B]You're definitely on the right track with the commander mode limitations. [/B] It sounds like the D810's internal flash might be the culprit for the 1/60s shutter speed cap. Here's what I'd try: [LIST=1] [*][B]Check Flash Settings:[/B] Double-check your flash settings on the D810. Make sure the internal flash is set to Commander Mode with minimal power output (like "--"). You only want it to trigger the SB-910, not contribute its own light. [*][B]Radio Trigger Option:[/B] While you're stuck in the Caribbean paradise (rough life!), radio triggers are a great option for future reference. They bypass the camera's internal flash entirely and allow full use of the SB-910's capabilities, including high-speed sync. [/LIST] Speaking of the Caribbean ([B][COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]removed link,)[/COLOR][/B] I recently used a radio trigger setup with my Nikon and an off-camera flash on a beach shoot. Worked like a charm for freezing action shots of surfers with the bright sunlight. No need for a super long shutter speed! In the meantime, see if tinkering with the internal flash settings helps. Good luck and enjoy your future Caribbean adventures! [/QUOTE]
