[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 108154, member: 12496"] Yes, exactly, it will be no problem at all. You do not use Flash Compensation however, you set the internal flash to its Manual flash mode, and then set its lowest manual power level in that same menu system. Flash Compensation is about TTL, it does not affect Manual flash. You cannot use TTL mode to trigger it, the preflash will trigger it (there are ifs and buts, but just don't). Then it may be better than the Commander, because obstacles won't be much problem - if the flash is hidden, the reflections from walls will help it (although some cases may need a little bit more power). The lowest possible power flash will trigger the SB-700 SU-4 mode (which should be in its sub-men Manual setting). Line of sight, 1/128 power on a D300 internal flash will trigger a SB-800 SU-4 at 130 feet. That would work too. [/QUOTE]
