Question of the day….

I’ve got someone asking me about Nikon D40x CLS(creative ligthing system) or off camera flash capability…So,I decided to post it here so that maybe anyone else can read it too….Below is the question in Malaysian Language…therefore my answer will be in Malaysia language as well…Anyway, I’ve got the answer within two minutes on the internet….so I guess maybe you can find the answer too

Question:

“em nikon d40x boleh guna wireless tak?
nak try blajar strobe hehe”

Answer:

D40x punya build in flash tak dpt trigger ur SB600. Unless ko ade SB800, ko boleh set SB800 tu on SU-4 mode..tu kira “slave” mode..then guna build in flash on “manual” mode utk trigger SB800 itu.SB800 tu kira ade optical sensor..so bila dia detect flash..dia pon trigger sekali…

so option ko ialah beli la wireless trigger seperti Pocket Wizard ataupon cap murahan dari china (PT-04).Wireless trigger ni ialah satu alat dimana ia mempunyai “transmitter”/pemancar signal dan juga “receiver”/penerima signal.So yg transmitter ni ko letak kat atas hot shoe camera ko then the receiver letak kat SB600 ko…then bila ko press shutter…ia akan trigger flash ko juga…

So, aku rasa…the cheapest option..ko beli la wireless trigger murahan tu…dlm RM100+ kot..

Sekian.
