josephbraun Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 <p>I am pretty sure these are not preflashes. I use a D300 and when I set my sb 800 to ttl mode to take a shot it will visibly flash 3 times for about 1 second, before finally taking the shot (the fourth flash). When I use the pop up flash on the camera with the same lens and everything (in ttl mode) it functions perfectly. How do I fix this?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 <p>Turn off the red-eye feature! That will help.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lex_jenkins Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 <p>You guys. I have a headache today, quit making me laugh. Now I need multiple pops of ibuprofen.</p> <p>Joseph, other SB-800 tricks will produce multiple pops, besides the red-eye reduction (which describes what you noted): slow sync rear curtain flash; the disco strobe modeling light - usually activated by the DOF preview button; and repeating flash mode.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_in_PA Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 <p>Shun,</p> <p>EXCELLENT point, that's why, when it happened to me, I went to the ear doctor, who just looked at me funny... At least I think he did... I couldn't see anything...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
