[QUOTE="Revet, post: 224022, member: 17612"] Oh no. My brother was mistaken, he doesn't have a D90, its a D5000 and from what I found in my research it doesn't have the FV lock on it to prevent blinking. I guess it is back to using the 3 flashes in manual mode and doing proper test shots. Just got a phone call from my other brother, he is bringing along another Nikon Speed Light that he borrowed from someone he knows who works for Nikon. He things it's an 800 but not sure. The problem here is it will arrive at the very last moment, probably after my practice shots. If I find that 3 speed lights aren't enough, How could I arrange 4 with the SB-700 on the hot shoe of the D3100 (acting as the commander). I was thinking 2 off center and one in the middle, all set to bounce. The middle one would have to be pretty low and I wasn't sure what happens when you shoot through a flash that is set up in front of the camera. I would guess there would be a better way to arrange them (no SU-4 mode because of the 600's) (maybe behind??). I'll stop throwing ideas out there and leave it to someone with more experience.
