How to quickly disable the SB-800 flash
Posted by David Chin on June 13th, 2006 in Flash Photography, Tips on operating your Nikon D200You have an SB-800 mounted on your D200, and it’s switched on, but then don’t want the SB-800 to fire for a particular shot. Is there a way to prevent the SB-800 from firing other than pressing on the power button to turn it off, and the turn it on again?
Well, according to page 170 of the manual, you can program the function button on the lower side of the lens to disable the flash when it is pushed.
Nice tip, thanks Doug!
