Well, ok, to start it off, SB-800 works fine on the D2H in all modes, TTL, metering just fine.
Slap it on my backup D70 to take some candids in A mode (TTL BL on the SB) and while the flash seems to meter correctly onboard (displays focal length/aperature) goes off, the camera does not seem to be calculating the metering correctly as if it doesn't know a flash is attached.
For example, if I'm shooting a scene without the flash, f2.8 1/15, even with the flashed attached it doesn't change the shutter speed sync to 1/60. So the result is, the flash goes off, and I'm still shooting the slower shutterspeed.
Now here's the kicker, it works fine in Auto mode, shutter speed changes to 1/60 and flash fires/camera meters just fine.
Is there a setting that I am overlooking? Is there a problem with the onboard flash being down while the SB is on? I'm not getting it!
