[QUOTE="chucklepie, post: 840496, member: 65864"] Hello, I need a little guidance :) My set is a D3300, a 105mm f2.8 G AF-S VR IF ED Micro Nikkor, along with a Kenro KFL201N ring flash. I am completely new and bought it for, mainly, dental photography. I'm a complete beginner so only a few days into learning to use the camera but understand the basics. The problem is no matter what I do when I use the flash everything is so over-exposed the images are white. Watching videos I can see using auto/macro with the flash on TTL it kind of 'just works'. I believe the flash is i-TTL compatible. But the only way I have found an image that is barely usable is if I set the flash on manual, put it on its lowest setting of 1/128 and have iso down to 100. At these settings auto focus doesn't work and I have to manually focus for close up. I've tried all the various flash modes on the camera too. I'm obviously doing something very wrong. Happy to post photos (but they're mostly all white) and my settings from my various trials. Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
