Yes
How on earth do I switch off the pre-flash when on TTL mode. I've changed something and can't work out what it is :bonk::bonk:
 
You Don't :)

The pre-flash is how the SB900 measures the lighting and decides how powerful the main flash should be.
 
:thinking: it wasn't doing that before I started mucking about with the menus :( but thanks :)
 
Would reset custom setting in the Custom Functions and Settings Menu C-20 do it??

aaaaahhhhh, it's not the pre flash it's the anti red eye three flash thing. Now where's that setting :bang:
 
What camera are you using? On the D700 it's e4 on the camera menu.

edit* - Oh, to get rid of the red eye pre-flash, hold down the flash compensation button and spin the rear wheel.
 
Page D-52 of Manual says When the SB900 is set as the master flash unit monitor pre flashes will not fire

Pair of D3's. It seems to be a setting on the body. I get the three flashes on one, but not on the other :gag:

Does the red eye symbol show when you hold down the flash button on the camera body?
