In i TTL mode (nikon), all pictures come way underexposed. Is there any way to solve this or have i got a defective unit?

Odd. I doubt it's a defective unit. Try manual mode to see if that works. Also. check that you haven't added some underexposure flash compensation on the camera or the flash.

Are you using it as a remote flash with your on camera acting as commander or trying to use the flash on camera? if the latter, ttl does not work. TTL only works when using as a remote.

Hi, I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

I don't have that problem. Your camera must have a defect. You should return it if you can.

Check your battery life, also if you are using built in flash it takes a little longer. Are you in manual or auto? If manual do a faster shutter speed and adjust ISO accordingly.

I leave the i-Contrast turned ON. That might help. I also find when I use the ZOOM I need to give it a second or two to focus and then I can take the photo. Still learning too but love this camera!!!!

I would go with the other comment by EDay. I usually have found if my camera is not performing a certain function it is probably a setting has accidently been changed. Sometimes an employee at a local camera shop can help you out-they like to show al they know. Good Luck!

Thank you. I have the problem of horribly overexposed photos with the flash. On Christmas day about half of the photos were washed out with the flash, in Auto mode. When we turned off the flash, some photos were ok, but others were blurry. I tried other rooms with different lighting, with and without flash, and again the problem of washed out subjects. Any suggestions? thank you.

Hi Marc,Sorry, I have not even been able to use mine since it arrived broken, andfotodiox was unable to help me.But, have you tried extra lighting fromdifferent angles? This usually helps.

I agree with the other answers. Make sure flash is turned off! Use a small tripod to hold the camera steady and try to lengthen the exposure time in "Manual" mode. Try other setting other then automatic mode. Vary exposure times and ISO speeds. Experiment until you get what you want then write all your settings down.

Yes it does! You will have to adjust the output power manually. Once you set your desired just keep shooting. Does not work in TTL mode. There is no settings you need to adjust in either camera but makes sure your shutter speed is set to no more than 1/160sec. Or you will get a dark shadow in the bottom of the image. Good luck!

What else did you try that helped? When I use any amount of telephoto indoors the result is blurry unless I use a flash.

To be honest, I am Tech Savy in terms of computers and related field but I still can't get the in and out of the photography. I own Nikon, D70 and D90 and bought this but I am still struggling with this little fellow. According to Mike, the TTL system is plug and play but in my case it is not. I bought this specifically, to improve the light when I take the indoor pictures but there is something I am doing wrong or something wrong with my units, we don't go well together for some reason. Of course I haven't done lot of reading but whatever I read it didn't make any sense to me, so not sure where to start.... So, in your case, you might be lucky and everything might go smoothly or disappointed just like me... Now it dropped lot of price but when I got it, it was expensive... I would suggest give it a try and if you don't like it always return it... But don't be like me, I did not have time sit on it to complete my task withing 30 days... So, if you're that kind of person then make sure you give yourself a time to do you homework... GOOD LUCK!

I had the same problem and sent in for warrenty work. Its probally not your imagination, mine was defective and they replaced the auto focus sensor. Now its easy to get crisp photos without vivid mode even. Ive had lots of olympus cameras and this was the first problem Ive ever had. they repaired the next day tehy recieved it and sent it back to me a day later. Im very happy with it now. It should be easy to get a crisp photo with this camera. Hope this helps.

I can not answer the question directly, but I would suggest the party go to the Nikon web site and try topull up the Reference Manual for this camera. There is a section called "Easy Auto Mode" that may addressthis issue. It is to detailed for me to included it in this response.

I just received my D800 a couple weeks ago. Almost all my images are out of focus, even with simple portraits. I haven't contacted Nikon yet because I'm attempting to return the camera.

`I have experienced this as well, especially with inside photos, no flash comes out too dark, flash is too light. There is an adjustment to the amount of brightness on the flash, just haven't "played" with the camera enough to be proficient at it.
