Sorry, it was a bout of accidental user error. Funny part is I did t find the answer on the handbook for the SB 600 or the D800 users manual. I just used Google and found it in Ken Rockwell's page on the D800. Somewhere along the lines I must have accidentally kicked in the red eye reduction. I Feel like an idiot. I'm so glad it was that simple. I can't afford replace any of my equipment. It taken me years to amass the gear I have. That D800 is as dear to me as my guitars and amps are.

Sorry I made typo last night. It's the SB 600. I have two of them and they are working fine the last time I used them. I have an SU200 Commander. I used it to fire the two SB 600s remotely. When I stow my flashes I remove the batteries. But I picked them up last night to take some photos outside after dark and found both to be doing the same thing. I assumed it had to be my camera. I need to get new batteries for the SU 200 and theavro flashes that came with it. Then I can test that to see if it's my camera at this point.

I don't know what's happening here and I haven't done anything to my flash settings. I am having the flashes pre flash twice then flash and shutter actuates. I press the shutter button, then two pre flashes and then the shutter and flash fire for the exposure. I don't know if my SU 800 and macro flash ring is doing this because I haven't used them in awhile and the batteries died. I've gone I to my flash settings and nothing i changes this.

The only thread I found here did not apply to the Su800 bit the SB800 to SB 600. I need my SU800 to to fire my two SB600s. I bought the Nikon Commander Macro Flash kit a few months ago. A couple days ago I bought the two SB600s to use on my light stands to fire into umbrellas to replace the SunPak flashes on Yongnuo wireless set up I've been using for portraits. I don't have the booklet for the SB 600s because I bought them used. I'm having a hard time browsing through the booklets for the Su800 because small print is hard on my eyes. It gets hard to read before I find my solution

I use the Lexar 1066x cards for all my cameras. I shoot more macro so for now haven't been using continuous mode. But that is also why the dust has been such a big deal because at life size and x2, x4 have been such a big deal because my aperture has been set to f22, f32.

Many thanks, I just ordered a cleaning kit. I saw the specks right where you said they'd be and all my rocket blowrs are long gone. I waited to too long to be able to get a D800 to go messing around without the proper tools. This thing maybe what keeps me afloat!

I will definitely check into this, the only other camera I want to buy right now is a second D300. I want to have a couple converted to IR. It's been a while since I messed around this in depth with equipment is there a setting on the camera that opens the shutter to expose the sensor after ive orders the swabs ofcourse

Hey, I recently was able to afford to upgrade from a D300 to a D800. The camera I have I paid $661 for thru an eBay auction. The camera is in dynamite condition and had only 9,557 firings of the shutter. It had been a while since I had been able to shoot a real camera again so I went to town in the Azaleas, and Primroses that have recently bloomed out front of my apartment. I have had a 100mm f2.8 micro and 4x life size converter so yeah, bug heaven too. Damn, this thing can digitally zoom in so I've been in heaven going from a 12mp D300 to the Beast! Then I started noticing a common anomoly in all the photos. These two sometimes three black dots to the upper right quadrant in all of my photos. At firsti could aware I could see some dust on the back side of the focus screen. Now I can't see them but still the dots remain in every photo. So is it possible that I have some dead pixels in my sensor?
