vader1775 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 how can I use an SB-80DX with a D40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_f1 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Only the new current flash models will do TTL with the new current digital camera models. So, the old flash will have to be in Manual or Auto mode to work with the new cameras. Camera can be in A or M mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottconners Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yes, as Wayne said, you can use it in manual mode or auto mode. They work very well in auto, just set your shutter to sync or below, and set the same aperture on the flash and camera. Keep the subjects within the distance range shown on the flash, and you should see really good exposures, I often have to compensate i-TTL for underexposure, but auto is normally close enough for no compensation.

vader1775 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks for the tips. I've been playing with the DX-80, and it works great with the D40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
