I've just purchased it and want to try it out at a Christmas party tonight. I don't have time to read the manual. I was under the impression that if I used manual mode on my camera that the light meter's reading would be based on the flash output as well as my settings. But it doesn't seem to be working. I've only been able to get success with the flash's automatic setting if my camera is in auto. I big on choosing my own shutter speed and aperture.

1. SB-600 is a sophisticated automatic flash designed to work best without operator interference. Put it on TTL BL and leave it there.
2. There's no need to use manual camera settings. The flash automatically tells the camera to set the proper shutter speed so the aperture is the only thing you need to adjust.
3. Use any camera mode. If you want to adjust something, select Aperture Priority to alter the depth of field.
4. If you're getting blown out highlights, dial in minus compensation on either the 600 or the camera.
5. For drag-shutter effects use Slow Sync. You can manually set shutter speed but why not let Nikon engineers do it for you?
6. Of course, the Number One advantage of the 600 is its tilt and twist flash head, enabling you to bounce light off various surfaces for almost-pro illumination. But of course you knew that ;-)
Hope this helps -- a happy SB-600 owner.

Quick & dirty: Set your camera to ISO 400. Choose Program mode. Set flash to DTTL.
If you're in a room with a normal white ceiling, bounce the flash at 45 degree angle.
Trust me. It'll work!
Do NOT use Auto. You lose the best features of your flash that way.
Have fun at your party.

Take time to read the section in the Owner's Manual for your camera "Using Flash". Then read the Owner's Manual for the flash.
