[QUOTE="NewNikon, post: 221652, member: 18047"] Good to know I was on the right track with center metering....and I was right about TTL-BL being default on the SB-400. I did a LOT of reading yesterday. lol Since I was going to be in P mode, I didn't mention shutter speed and aperture as these aren't adjustable in P mode to my knowledge... I would put it in A mode, but I'm not sure I trust the person who will be operating the camera (as I obviously won't be) to adjust the aperture on the fly if need be. The Night Portrait actual does slow sync flash by default, and I was worried about the exposure according to the massive amount of lights on those trees. lol I've also decided to turn the ISO level to the 2500-3200 range. I'm taking more photos tonight. Ill post a couple photos tonight, showing each of the different settings, from Auto, to Night Scene, to my personal settings, and to the different ISO levels, as that's my main adjustment. Just two more days!! Starting to get nervous!! [/QUOTE]
