Metz 45cl-4/Nikon F(N)80
Hi Group,
Is there anyone out there with any experience using a Nikon F80 and a Metz 45cl-4 via a sca 3402/sca3000c. that could pass on a few tips on this set up. So far I have been using the camera in P mode and using the flash in TTL setting. Some questions that are puzzling me are 1. Do I need to set the film speed on the flash when the camera reads the film speed and if all the flash control is TTL? 2. I notice that the 3402 settings seems to override the camera when looking for rear screen yet when set via the 3402 the camera shows slow sync as well as rear. Is this right? It seems to be give very slow shutter speeds. Is there any site that might have information regarding this set up other than the Metz or Nikon site, (been there already) Thanks in advance to all those that take the time to reply. David |

David By using P mode and TTL, the camera is deciding what shutter speed and aperture is correct for the proper exposure of the scene. The camera is then telling the flash to just act as fill. It works like this for Nikon flashes as well. |
