[QUOTE="carguy, post: 128151, member: 12521"] I'm studying up on off-camera flash use at Strobist.com and a few other resources. Before I buy any gear, I'm playing with my settings tonight. I have a D40 and SB-700. While I understand the only way to fire it remotely is to use the D40 pop up flash to fire off the remote SB-700. While not the ideal setup, I'm trying to start at the bottom and work up :) So far, I'm able to get the flash to fire after the following settings, am I on the right track? [B]On the D40[/B]: Manual mode Custom Settings > 14 Built In Flash > Manual > 1/32 power Press side button to pop up the flash. [B]On the SB-700[/B]: Slide on left side set to Manual Dial on lower right set to REMOTE Menu > Remote > SU-4 This appears to fire the flash remotely. I do notice a long time between cycles on the SB-700, maybe due to low batteries? I'd appreciate any pointers with this setup as I learn. [/QUOTE]
