I have attached a Vivitar 6000AF ringlight flash (for Nikon) to a Nikon
D70. However, I cannot get the shutter to fire. Camera is set to
auto. Settings have been reset to default. The lens is a D series CPU
lens (AF Micro Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8D). The ready light on the flash is
lit, the test button fires the flash just fine. The flash indicator is
blinking. The shutter fires correctly when the flash is not attached.
The flash is TTL capable. I have tried focusing at various ranges from
less than 1 foot to 8 feet. I have tried setting ISO to auto. Is
there a setting I need to change in order for this to work right?
Hi,

D70 Manual, page 188 states that if a 'Nikon' speedlight which isn't
iTTL compatible is attached and is in TTL mode the shutter will lock.
They can however be used in NON TTL auto and manual modes.
