| Post subject: | Abr800 |
I took delivery of my ABR800 yesterday. I set up, tested it, worked fine. Today I tried shooting vertically, while holding it has been well documented, my issue was the flash not firing correctly. From what I can tell If I rotate the camera anti clockwise one of the flash tubes doesn't fire or if that's figment of my imagination the images are very dark compared to the same exposure in a landscape format. If I rotate the camera clock wise (very uncomfortable.) The exposure is correct. Is this a common issue, am I missing something very simple? I almost always shoot vertical for my work, is there a workaround I can employ if this issue isn't solvable? Many thanks Nate. p.s my setup is a d800 w/o the battery pack and a nikon 28-70 2.8 |

Are you rotating the flash and camera, or just the camera? How are you triggering the flash? If you take a sample photo in a mirror at a low exposure, you should be able to see the tubes. Are you certain the camera settings are not inadvertently changing? |

Hey, Thanks for the reply, I'm rotating both, I'll give the mirror idea a shot. the flash is being triggered using the bundled sync. I'm certain the camera settings are not changing. I've found a temporary work around, it does involve changing the flash setting if I'm using it Vertically and upping the power about a stop and a half. Will let u know how the mirror test goes. Thanks again. Nate |
