[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 356520, member: 12496"] Yes, it will work, and will be more needed, for closer individual portraits. My notion is that portraits with Commander are impossible without FV Lock. :) (OK, if you had a SU-800 commander, flashing is filtered to be infrared and not visible). Or, you could add the $12 Nikon SG-3IR panel to make them all be infrared. See [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/awl.html#panel"]Using the Nikon CLS Remote Wireless Flash System[/URL] However, the TTL remote units preflash is still always visible light. Camera models without Commander do not have the FV Lock feature. The only solution I know for them is that the added commander should be the SU-800. Again, it times out with the viewfinder, so the L in the viewfinder is the big thing. You can take keep taking several shots, all still the same previous flash exposure (flash value, FV). Each shot (each half press) extends the display time out. But when it does time out (and no L), then no more remembered Flash Value, and you get flashing and blinking next time. Or another subtlety .. If you shift the camera (hot shoe flash) and need a different FV (while L is still on), you can tap the FV button again, and the L will go out. Then you can do FV again for a new value. Learn the L. :) [/QUOTE]
