Gianfranco My D works well with any (compatible) lens using TTL flash. Except for high ISO values = above 400 ASA. ISO 800-3200 does not work well with TTL. The camera seem to allow the same amount of light output no matter what the ISO setting is (still above 400ASA). If you shot the poor guy at 800 ASA, there's probably your explanation. It will get heavily overexposed. Use 200-400 ASA only for TTL flash. That is my experience.
If you shot the guy at 200 ASA you have a got a problem with you rcamera.

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 _ __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
