Nikon SG-2 blocks the internal flash |
| When the D200 internal flash is set on
Commander Mode, the flash has to go off to control remote SB-800s.
I've experienced that the internal flash can effect the set if the
subject is close to the camera position. As a work around, I'm using
the SG-2 diffuser which came bundled with the SU-4 wireless remote TTL
flash control I use with my old SB-24s. |
|
I covered an SG-2 with black gaffers tape. When mounted
in the flash shoe on the D200 as seen in the picture below, it enables
the internal flash to go off and control the slave SB-800s but not be
seen by the subject or intrude into the set. |
| The
Nikon SG-3IR which cost $12 at B&H, appears to be the exact same thing with a piece
of opaque black plastic (instead of diffusing plastic) (that hangs in
front of the built in flash. |
| Someone should suggest to Nikon that
the SG-2, or SG-3IR should also come bundled with the SB-800. It's a perfect
solution to a known problem. |
