    Nikon d3200 camera, does it make sense to buy a flash from China Triopo TR-586EX. And will TTL work?

      I just had one. She worked as expected, there were no complaints.

      I will answer you directly from China. This flash is not worth buying because its prices are a little scattered, at least it costs about $ 65, but it does not have a high-speed sync mode. I wonder if the entry-level D3200 camera supports this mode? If not, then the limitation will be significant, and if the camera supports it, then buy the Triopo TR-988 model for the same price, it costs about 400, that is, about $ 68, for which it is almost top-end with all modes. And so, pay a little extra and buy a Godox 5N - after all, they are tested, they work perfectly and I think they are more reliable, at least time-tested, and cost 685 yuan, that is, about $ 550, which is very little for testing the very top class.

    Does the camera determine it or not? And how to set up the camera to work with it. Lens 50 1.8 and the main shooting mode aperture priority.

      The flash works in i-TTL mode. So the camera will know everything. How to configure the camera for this mode, take an interest in the instructions. Usually this mode is the default.

      It is clear that you need to buy a model for Nikon.
      But I still recommend the Yongnuo outbreaks. They are better made.

    Thanks for the quick response!!! The instruction is understandable, I would like the opinion of the person who used this puff. Maybe there is a photo experience with this flash of portraits.

      From the picture it is impossible to determine which flash was used))
      You better buy an umbrella on a tripod, with a mount for the flash, and set fire to the external flash on-camera.
      Image quality will improve by an order of magnitude.

        But you can set the pulse duration manually on the flash and set it on fire with the D3200. Or you can put a flash with a command mode and control it. And then there are synchronizers and a cable ... There are a bunch of ways to remotely fire from an amateur carcass.

    Great article, thanks to Arkady. Indeed, I experimented with an sb600 flash and Nikon D90 in the afternoon, it’s interesting to get, but here I can understand why the sex of the picture is darker. I suspect that the shutter speed is such that the images are not recorded correctly (the shutter works quickly and the lower curtain does not have time to go down as the upper one already catches up with it) and thus a black bar or two is formed from the top and the bottom. Who can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

      I'm not special, but how it was on Nikon's carcass I used a flash from a canon in manual mode - such stripes appeared at a long exposure (which I don't remember anymore)

    Today I shot on Nikon D90. I shoot and suddenly suddenly crackle and the smell of burning. I began to understand, it turned out that for some reason the built-in flash worked, but in the retracted position. I opened it, I looked - the surface was smoked. I thought it might seem. I took another photo 10-15 as the crackle repeated, the flash fires in the closed position. Tell me what to do in this case?

        There is a lever that is responsible for parking the flash (the camera thinks the flash is down). Pull it, you can force it to lower and see the result.

    Where is our dear comrade from Paris? These struts and racks are already in several topics.

    d 40 is synchronized with an external flash at any shutter speed because it has an electronic mechanical shutter it's strange that the manufacturer does not position this as an advantage of these cameras
