Is this flash TTL also, can I used AA battery, thanks

This is a totally manual unit, no TTL. Also the big draw to this unit is the lithium battery it comes with, so no AAA batteries will work with it.

I bought one, but I cant find a room for AA. this uses an exclusive battery only.

No TTL, this is manual-only. It uses the supplied Li-ion battery. AA will not fit.

The SB800 holds enough power for 3 auto TTL flashes. However final recycling can be 3 seconds once it has used up stored energy after 3 shots. Add the 5th battery with extended compartment or hook up to external power source and fires and recycles faster. Find specifications on Nikon site, or google the specifications of this flash. If you are taking photos at higher iso like 1200 or 1600 iso, it will not use as much flash power.

Yes, it can. The only thing this unit can't do is function in TTL mode. Other than that, it is a great manual flash.

Yes. They're a basic hotshoe trigger, so you don't get any TTL capabilities or control over the flash from the camera. Everything on the flash is controlled in manual mode, but they fire reliably and over a pretty good distance with Canon cameras and flashes.

They shouldn't be interchangeable. For TTL to work properly the flashes have to be engineered for each brand. I'd send it back and get the right one. It's a bargain of a flash for the money though. You'll be happy.

Yes it will work but it does not do E-ttl so you will only shoot in manual mode for the flash a good rule is to start the flash power at 1/8 then go up or down depending on the picture

Joyce - Yes, you can use regular AA batteries and they will last a comparatively long time. If you are new to the A1300 I think you will really enjoy it...it's a good value for the price. Ron

Yes but only in manual. The TTL is from an older variant that is no longer compatible with newer bodies.If you like the sb-800 and don't care about TTL, this is a wonderful flash. I own six and tend to use them over my sb-800 and sb-900.

Yes, but there is no TTL. Either use the built-in camera meter or a light meter, like a Sekonic. Or, as the ultimate fallback plan, just adjust the power output until the exposure is correct.

I can't think of any feasible reason why that would be so. Since you're not using a dedicated TTL flash, there's only one contact being utilized on the camera hot shoe to trigger the flash.

I have had substantially better battery life than that with my copy and Eneloop NiMH batteries. However the flash will definitely not work in TTL mode except with a Fuji camera. Slave mode will definitely work fine, and probably manual mode as well.

A wifi trigger is a pretty dumb device, as long as the flash contacts in the hotshoe fit, it will trigger. No TTL, however, all manual. If you have a proprietary shoe like the old Minolta/early Sony, that flash will need an adapter, but that's the only exception.

Yes & no. It has a standard hotshot not a Sony. You will need an adapter. I use this flash with my alpha 57 with an adapter and also as a remote. It does not have TTL and must be used in manual mode.

This product does not actually use TTL. If you have the transmitter attached to the camera and the flash attached on top of that, they basically connected the wires to allow the camera's TTL signal to pass through to that flash only. It will not pass TTL to any remote flash. I recommend the Yongnuo YN-622C if you want to use TTL.

I have a K-5 and a Vivitar DF-383 flash. When placing the flash on the camera shoe and turning on the battery power the flash pulses. The ttl feature is useless. I must shoot in manual mode to utilize the flash. Yours may not suffer from this problem. For you sake, I hope not.

I believe you don't. This flash is E-TTL and compact camera doesn't use it (it requires a SLR camera). I use it in a G9 and G12 in full manual mode.

I dont use AA batteries because they don't last very long. I use 2 Canon E6 batteries.
