(it seems this message didn't appear the first time so here it
is again...)
Hi,
Some may remember that I had a major failure with my main D body
last August. Probably very few remember that I bought a backup
body last Spring that I had to send to repair almost immediately
because of its odd behaviour (black stripes on the images etc.)
A couple of days before leaving for Firenze my backup body lost
its af/mf switch. So now I'm unable to use it in manual focus
unless using a mf lens. I'm not sure, I should check, but
probably I had used this body only with af lenses or mf lenses
without flash till now (at least after the first repair),
because when I tried to use the built in flash with a mf lens
the flash fired at full power (a nice portrait of Juan almost
completely white...).
The D is supposed to work in plain TTL mode with manual lenses
too (and in fact the other D body never gave me a problem)... I
even tried a af lens setting the aperture manually and the
behaviour is the same, and so with the AF360FGZ...
My thoughts are: is the P-TTL controlled by the normal metering
(bypassing the flash TTL metering)? Is it possible that the
flash TTL sensor doesn't work at all (so it seems...)?
Thanks in advance for every possible hint.
Ciao,
Gianfranco
