i haven't bought an sb600 yet because i need to know that i can use it wirelessly on my D40 i want it for shooting skateboarding and place it under the subject and shoot at a distance. i have read alot of forums and am really confused i just want a simple explanation of what to do thanks
Your embbed camera flash will act as a commander for the external flash unit. This means that you will actually flash both flashes but only the SB600 will work
to do this you need to do basically two things.
- on your D40 you need to find a menu that is something like "Flash Control". Inside of that you have to set your flash to act as a Commander. Usually there is C and a flash icon.
- on your SB600 you have to set it to REMOTE. I cannot help you on this because i down own one.
Good luck
The D40 itself doesn't allow for wireless flash use, but if you get an SU-800(~$250, I know, sucks) unit you can.
The better idea is to get a used D70(~$250-$350), which will lets you use onboard flash as commander. You also get a lot more features over the D40.
