Repeating flash, SB 800 on D200, How do you STOP it?

Hello I am a blond and still learning my camera:) I have read the manuals and

can't figure it out. When I use my sb 800 flash on my d200 the flash repeats

several times before firing. I don't want to use this feature. I have switched

flash to different modes and no difference. I have switched the flash to my

d70 and no such problems. Has anyone had this problem, how do you correct.

thanks for your help

May not be your issue, but a place to start.

I think that is red eye reduction you might make sure that it's off.

My guess is that Brian is correct. Another thing to do is to 'reset all' on the SB-800 - I'm a redhead not sure how to do it, but I bet it is there :-)

Any chance you are pressing the DOF preview button during these moments?

I've got brown hair, but not much left, and I think that red-eye is on on the flash, NOT the

camera.

 

Kristina, rest assured, though, that I'm sure you have more fun than me.

Thank you Thank you! It was the red eye reduction! wow...so simple, gotta lot to learn!!!
