[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 321243, member: 12496"] :) I cannot know your skills, and forgive me if I'm wrong, but you seem totally unfamiliar with using flash. So I worry about initial manual flash efforts. TTL automation will greatly help to make it work usefully. The least that it will offer is the choice. That seems good to me. If you have the Nikon camera now, take a minute to understand the idea. Set the D3100 menu for built-in flash ... change from TTL to be Manual flash. The menu for manual power level is there with it. Then go take some flash pictures with manual flash, not just one, but in 3 or 4 situations. You adjust the power level for the manual flash to get the result you want, in each situation. Then also try the same in TTL flash mode. If you have done that much, you should have the idea then. [/QUOTE]
