alvin_lim5 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi all, Lately, I have been having some problems with my SB 800. Regardless which lens I use, the speedlight will showthe focal length at 14mm. Even when I attached a zoom lens on it, it still stays at 14mm. Anyone encounteredsomething similar? Thanks!

hans_janssen Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 You have the omni-bounce on it or the wide angle diffuser down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliot1 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Check to see if the built-in diffuser is pulled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohanmike Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 My SB-600 switches to 14mm when the wide diffuser is down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_skomial Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 SB-800 Auto-zoom works when head is not rotated, and not tilted, and diffuser and bounce card are completely inserted in the body. No Dome or any attachment installed, no rubber band or tape personal inventions on the flash that could possibly press in on the micro switch on the flash body and disable the auto zoom feature of the flash. Once that is settled, see if your lens, or zoom lens, as well as camera, is compatible. Do you have a G lens ? Do you have a D lens ? and what is your camera model...
