Use Auto mode for everything. Kinda rush for u to pick up everything in 1 night.

Hope you are just new to DSLR and not photography.

Reset your SB800 to it's factory default setting.
Camera to ISO 100-200; indoor/evening -- ISO400.
P = Programmed mode.

Needless to say, spare batteries and CF cards.

ur company rather spend the money to buy camera and flash then to employ a pro to do it..this is ridiculous..:bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

I can't believe you expect to be able to pick up a DLSR and learn to use it in one day, particularly shooting indoors with flash. Although the camera itself might impress your Chinese visitors, I imagine the end results might not.

Today you bought a camera and a flash, want someone to teach you what setting to use online, and by tomorrow you expect to crunch out professional quality photos.




Am I missing something here??

[dDarkroom]

no I'm not new to photography has been using my sony K701i for about a year now.

look like I need to charge the battery for the camera. heck the shop never tell me that the SB800 requires battery to operate. I will go to pick up the battery to set it to factory default.

hope by the time I come back I will have more top notch tips from the pro.

I hope you bought a lens too...

I hope that you know the basics of photo taking... if not... to take nice professional photos... :sweat:

If you have the basics of photo taking, trying reading the manual from now till your guest arrival, you probably can make it.

 

[catchlights]

so the company bought a D200 and SB800, and you are using it, so you automatic become Professional Photographer?

Ok, catchlights here, welcome to the world of professional photographers.

I can use my own batteries for the SB800 and my own lens as well.
But the D200 cannot take video you know?
