Can the Sb-800 be placed on a stand and fired remotely from a D80 or do i have to buy additional remote equiptment for it to do it? Thanks again you guys are a great help to us noobs! :wink:
Though I am at learning stage, I can answer this. You can use the built in flash to control a remote SB-800. Here are some links that may be useful to you: http://www.softstonegroup.com/sb-800.html http://olegnovikov.com/technical/nikoncls/cls.shtml
The D80 and the SB800 are all part of the Creative Lighting System by Nikon. The short answer to your question is YES.
I understand the pop-up flash mode in menus needs to be set to 'Commander' for it to work. All the best.
