  1. My friend has a Nikon camera and speedlite and recently found a hack

    on a web site whereby he can remotely trigger his flash from the

    flash on the camera.

     

    Can this be done on the Ex580? Its not a standard feature. I bought

    a device that I can plug on to the speedlite but it only works once

    after which I have to turn off the speedlite and then turn it back

    on to take the next shot. This is a bit annoying to say the least

    and I am not convinced it wont eventually damage my rather expensive

    flash unit.

     

    In the Nikon the feature was always there nut Nikon chose to disable

    it. To get it to work you just press a cryptic sequence of buttons

    on the flash unit. It works great. They disable it as they sell an

    aftermarket unit that does the job for �50! Now thats cheeky.

     

    I know that I would have to set the flsh up manually but it saves

    spending another �150 on a controller.

     

    Suggestions?

  2. I noticed someone else mention this the other day and I agree with

    them but they mentioned it in a critique request moan rather than

    here so I thought I'd post the question myself.

     

    Anyone agree?

     

    We need a night shot category. Night shots are normally landscapes

    or architechture but I think being night, especially if buLb,

    requires a category of its own.
