My questions are...will it work with my D50 with albeit limited functions? Will it do any harm to my camera? Could I keep it to use as part of a flash setup, i.e off camera remote?
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks,

Here's a possible solution, do not switch on the camera and do not connect the flash to the camera until you have followed this procedure!

1) Switch on the flashgun.
2) Set the flashgun to TTL.
3) Connect the flash to the camera, (make sure the camera is switched off first).
4) Set the camera to manual.
5) Switch on the camera.

This works for me with an SB24, it should work for SB22.
