[QUOTE="Revet, post: 228473, member: 17612"] That makes sense. The menus on the 800 and 600 are quite a bit different (I think much harder to learn). I was hoping to purchase a used flash to compliment my 700 so I might have to wait a bit before the 700 is readily available used. That would solve all problems then, it would work in TTL and SU-4 mode. I still wonder though, is the pop-up flash ever useful if I have two off camera remotes (forgive me for not having the experience with off-camera flash or the equipment yet to answer this question on my own)? Also, since my D3100 is not a commander, if I use two off camera flashes, I would have to use SU-4 mode unless I purchase a radio trigger. Can I dial it down enough (by decreasing the flash compensation) so that it doesn't influence the exposure but still triggers the remotes?? Or as stated above, having it dialed down a little to maybe light the face end eyes a little, using it as a third flash with the two remotes. Hope that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
