I have Nikon D5100. The camera built in flash continues to pop up even with the transmitter in the hot shoe so it doesn't work. Thoughts?

What mode are you shooting in because i have a d5100 as well and it works perfectly

It would be helpfull if you told us what triggers and what camera u are using. I bought Pixel King Wireless iTTL triggers for NIkon and they do not work with my Sigma EF-530-DG-Super... so you see it is not only about the Flash...

click the button on top of the transmiter. if they work, set the flash in manual now install on your camera's hot shoe and see if it work.

If you're asking if the camera will fire the flash, the answer is no. If you were to purchased a hot shoe trigger with a receiver it will work with any camera. Does that answer your question?

Hmm...I have the same problem with my Olympus. Would the "sports mode" make any difference? Can flash be used in that mode? --Zach Kaplan

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.

Most probably yes, you are not using the camera correctly, I advice you to read the manual again. I have this camera for 6 months now, and it works perfectly! Good luck with that. Also take into account the light, because it might be that you are using the flash when you don't need it =)

Better that you have to pop it up manually. That way you control the flash - it does not control you. How hard is it to push the little flash button.If that level of complexity is too difficult for you, this camera is not for you.

No flash hot-shoe but people have built flash sync into it allowing the use of a flash. Quite simple, just need to hook the sync port of a flash up to this camera by having two conductors "touch" when you snap the photo (using the moving shutter and the shutter release becomes your flash trigger).

I've tried it on my Canon T4i. When I insert it fully into the hot shoe, the camera disables the popup flash. I can get it to work by partially inserting it, but it's kind of fiddly. There might be a setting on the camera somewhere that will change this. As it is, I would say it partially works.

You might be trying to use the flash too fast after using it the first or second time. It takes time for the battery powere to build up for each flash. There is definitely a lag time in between using the flash. Don't try to use the flash again with out waiting 15 seconds or so. When you push the shutter button halfway to let the camera focus before taking the picture you should be able to tell if enough battery power has built up for the next flash. I doubt your camera is defective. IOt is just matter of understandimg how it works & using it correctly.

I too, have the open button that I slide and the flash comes on automatically. I changed my battery before I thoroughly tested mine but the problem with mine was the zoom would no longer retract. I finally just gave up and got a used one which I am totally happy with now. Like Ms. Jump stated though, Kodak has excellent customer service. Sorry, I wasn't much help on your issue.

Yes. Each connected flash behaves as if directly on the hot shoe. I have used four flashes concurrently this way and results are perfect. Ittl ore fires all of them and behaves as if a more powerful flash were used. I am a Nikon user.

Hi There, I use canon so I'm not 100% sure what your flash/camera capabilities are. I have one attached to my camera in the hotshoe and one attached to my flash via an external connection cord that comes with the pocket wizard. The pocket wizards communicate with each other to fire the flash. Hope this helps.

I own the D5100 as well and it works well in only in manual mode on the flash itself. You can put your camera in "P" mode, set the flash to manual and adjust the flash power until you get the results you want. It is a great and powerfull flash, with the D5100 and most of the newer DSLR's it just requires a little more fiddling from you. Hope this helps!

I have experienced the same thing but my camera is a few years old. Initially I had an awful time with its flash not working. Just as the warranty would expire, the flash stopped functioning. Nikon fixed it once and replaced the entire camera the second time. But now with this shutter problem, I am fed up. I do not trust the camera, and Nikon by extension. I have a 35 year old Nikkormat which is in my attic, which never gave me any problems. Bummer. I am in the market for another camera, not a Nikon.

I have a t4i. So far I can't get my pop up flash to engage with the lightscoop. Hoping there is some type of setting I can change. But most likely not gonna happen. Bummer...
