Nikon SB22 flash / D50
Wonder if anyone can advise please...
I've picked up a second hand Nikon SB22 flash at what I think is a very good price on 'the old ebay'....I've taken a chance with this as I know next to nothing about flash photography...my thoughts were that the flash itself is apparently a good unit with good reviews for Nikon SLR film cameras & if it wont work with my D50 I can always sell it again & worst case scenario is I'll get my money back. 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, Al.

Al I thought this site may be off interest it has the voltages of most flashguns and a rough idea whether they could work with digital. You do have to be careful as the wrong voltage can damage the electronics.

I found this on Photo.net
"The SB22 will work on the D50, but in manual only (no TTL)."

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. nirofo.

Thanks for the info, Saphire / Robski / Nirofo...little confused with last post, Nrofo's...do I have to go through this proceedure each time or does this proceedure give me extra features?

Hi Al Tee If you want to use TTL you will have to go through this procedure each time you attach your flash unit, you will need to keep it on this setting, if you change to manual you will have to go through the procedure again to go back to TTL. It doesn't give you any extra features. nirofo.

Hi Al Tee
Sorry I gave you slightly misleading info for setting up flash in my previous posts, I have just found my own set of instructions hidden away amongst my voluminous data files, I have copied it below, hope it's of use to you. If you have any further queries please let me know! nirofo. SB24 Flash setup for standard TTL Set up camera, connect off camera flash lead (SC17) if in use to Main Flash or attach flash to camera directly, switch on camera, switch on main flash – select standard TTL, (Pulsating symbol on flash display). When camera is switched on and an AF electrically coupled lens is in use, flash is controlled by the settings on the camera and on the lens. Metering, compensation, film speed, shutter speed is adjustable in manual mode only, ( the camera sets shutter speed between 1/60 and 1/250 in all other modes). If you want to set shutter speeds lower than 1/60 on the camera to enable lighting control, (such as dark backgrounds), then it is only possible using manual mode on camera body. The lens sets the apertures in manual mode, some programme modes and aperture priority only. AF electrically coupled lens sets aperture and focal length on flash unit. Flash charge indicator, (lightning bolt symbol in camera viewfinder) winks after flash fired, (the period of winking increases depending on amount of power required, will continue winking if flash strength is insufficient for set up), goes out until flash is recharged, then lights up steadily when ready to fire.

The simplest device to trigger the second unit is an optical trigger. There is a pic of Foxy's in the Flash Forum Link http://www.worldphotographyforum.com...ead.php?t=1859 Don
