Mike Hagen puts out a recommended setting sheet for some of the Nikon Camers (D-300 in particular) and advocates keeping the sync on Auto FP. However, unless I am incorrect, it would only really be needed in outdoor shootings mainly for portraits and fill-flash to prevent over-exposure. Do you concur? Another really great article.

How did you setup Nikon D300s to wirelessly sync with the Elinchrome light? Did you use PocketWizard or anything similar or did you try to sync using the flash on Nikon D300s? I doubt the Elinchrome is compatible with Nikon CLS so if you attempted to sync optically the light might be syncing with the pre-flash emitted from the D300s. Max Neil,

I have just purchased a Elinchrome D-Lite 4 system and I'm shooting with a Nikon D300s. I just can't seem to sync the flashes with the camera - the flashes fire wirelesley OK but dont sync with the shutter? (fairly new to studio photography - sorry if this seems a dumb question) Can anyone help?? I have just purchased a Elinchrome D-Lite 4 system and I’m shooting with a Nikon D300s.
