Whenever I take a shot with built in flash, or my SB 600, there is a lag of about 3 seconds. This is not due to auto focus.. I have tried it in MF mode too. The flash fires 3 times before the picture is taken :shake: Why is this? Its REALLY annoying, I didnt change any settings to make it do this either. One minute it was working, the next it wasnt.

Any thoughts?

Have you got a red eye setting? that causes multipul flashes.
 
its a pre exposure thing, it does it with all DSLR's, it fires a series of three flashes to get the right data which is sent back to the camera quickly so it can gain a perfect exposure. i hate the pre exposure too because people move after one flash has gone so it ruins the actual photo.

My D60 doesn't do that, neither does my A200 :thinking:
 
Ok never mind. I just removed then replaced the battery and it now works :)
