shotz Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I could use some help. I am a very experienced photographer, many years and in many formats, but I am new to the high-end digital world. I just got myself a D50 for my first ventures into digital and it's great. I use it in my studio with a little remote-flash thing in the hot shoe and my Norman strobes supplying the light. I'd like to use some of my shoe-mounted flash equipment if I could. I have a Sunpak auto444-D flash. It is very capable. It has a Nikon NE-2D module on the bottom. Problem is, when I put it into the D50 hot shoe and set the camera to "Manual" I can'g get the camera to shoot/fire at all. Someone please tell me if what I am trying to do is even possible. Should I get a different module? Just forget the whole thing and get a SB-600? Try other settings on the camera or flash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisp Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 You have two options (this is also covered in other threads, but I had trouble finding the info, so here it is again): <br><br>1) buy a STD-1D module for your 444D and lose the TTL pin (which won't work anyway)<br><br>2) put a piece of gaffer's tape over the foward-most contact on the flash hot-shoe. This worked for me on my D200 and 444D, see <a href="http://blog.willowisp.net/?p=25">my blog post on this issue</a> with a DX-12R (I also own and have tested a 444D)<br><br>HTH,<br>j.
