Commander and Auto FP modes at some time

[zanemohrmeyer]

<p>All, is to possible to fire a Nikon strobe off camera (i.e., in commander mode) and utilize Auto FP high speed synch at the same time. I currently use a D200 and have ordered (but not yet received) an SB-700. Any method to use these two features as the same time would be greatly appreciated, even if it involved buying additional hardware (i.e., triggers).</p>

<p>If your question is if Auto FP HSS works with Commander and Remotes, yes. You don't need any extra hardware.<br>

<br />However, the internal flash cannot do Auto FP HSS, so you MUST disable its contribution in the Commander menu (Internal group Mode set to be ---).<br>

Internal flash can still be Commander, and the external remote can be HSS (if they are capable units. The SB-700 is.</p>

Yes, provided you use CLS.

Both the camera and flash

have to be auto-FP capable

though, and if you want to

use radio triggers they need

to be the expensive CLS and

i-TTL capable type as well.

 

 

Make sure you enable auto-fp

in the camera flash menu.
