I have a Nikon D50 camera I cannot get my off camera Nikon flash to work. What could be my problem?

This a flash I use on other Nikon cameras but cannot get to work on my digital D50, all the contacts match. Could I not have something set on a menu?

The flash you are trying to use must be labeled as a TTL (through the lens) flash as that is how this camera gets it's light readings. There are some other Nikon flashes that will work in auto on this camera and they should be listed in your manual or check here...... 3) Non-TTL Auto: Available with Speedlights such as SB-800, 80DX, 28DX, 28, 27, and 22s 4) Distance-priority manual available with SB-800......

Check page 99 of your D50 manual for instructions on menu choices related to the flash. Check page 109 of your D50 manual for a discussion on devices that are compatible with the accessory shoe. Just because it worked in other cameras does not mean it has to work on the D50, even if it is a NIkon brand flash.

Hi, I recommand you to try google picasa.

picasa is a Google's photo software. It's what should've come with your camera.
