[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 176851, member: 6277"] I had to reread both his comments and your twice to make sure I was right. I think we need to know what mode he is shooting in. I think auto is the only mode that the false will activate on its own though. Step up on SoapBox now. NEVER SHOOT IN AUTO. Use the program mode if you need automation but at least you can control the ISO and the Flash in Program mode. AUTO takes everything away from you. The Program mode with External flash is really great. I shot my D5100 with the SB-700 recently for the first serious time. I shot on Program with the flash turned on. I was extremely happy with the results. I have also shot that way indoors using bounce with the white card up and those shots were in a difficult room with odd ceilings. Again, they looked great. I suggest that you start that way and as time progresses you move into the more involved setups with the flash it you see that there is more you want it to do. Here is a shot outdoors with flash.
