How do I turn off the "pop up" flash on the nikon D80 when using the camera with studio lighting? I am new to digital photography and have the Nikon D80.. I just started working with Smith Victor studio lighting(FLC200 & 110i) and am stuck on how to turn off the "pop up" flash and still allow the camera to fire off the 3 studio lights. Right now the camera opens the small flash unit and then the 3 lights will sync. But that seems to destroy the idea of the studio set up since the people are being washed out..
How do I figure the lighting for my camera? I have a Sony Cybershot, and I've had it for quite sometime now; I love the camera. The thing I'm having a problem with is lighting.

And depending on the lighting, what function do i put it on? I've read the manual but cant seem to figure it out.

how important is lighting or the right angle of the camera to making your subject look good? A picture often says a lot about a person... I mean, its a reflection of your image. However no matter how beautiful a person is, do you find that if the angle is off or the lighting is terrible... it often makes a person look bad? I have taken 100's of pictures of my friends... and those friends that I find attractive. Yet maybe 50% of those pictures are not so flattering due to setup. But they always take it personally. In your opinion how important is lighting or the right angle of the camera to making your subject look the most attractive?

How do I setup my lighting kit to sync with my digital camera? I just bought a strobe and softbox kit, how do I get it to sync with my Canon EOS digital rebel xt? I will be taking photos at a club tomorrow night and will be taking pictures. I will need the continuous light on from the softbox and I tested it this morning - but I am having trouble adjusting my camera settings and the strobe settings. How do I do it? I also purchased a hot shoe safe sync from WEIN that supposedly works with my camera to put on the hot shoe and sync with the PC cord that goes with the strobe. It seems to only work when I use my other external flash though (canon speedlite 430) because that flash triggers the strobes. I dont even know if the WEIN hot shoe sync works.

Any suggestions would help me out a lot. I would also like the kind of lights that flash whenever to take a picture not the kind that stays on the whole time.

Cheap lighting for digital camera photos...? I have a new digital camera, it takes great photos in good light but in my apt at night it makes it look like a cave. Anyone know how i can spend maybe $10 at walmart and get good lighting?

Anyone have any other/better ideas?

Video Camera Lighting.? I use the Canon Power Shot A530 ( digital camera ) for my videos. I know its a digital camera but i think it works pretty good as a video camera aswell. Well anyways, i just started to try to do green screening with this camera. ( My question isnt about green screening ). But when you are keying out the color of your green screen of your ediot you need the screen to remain one color. But my camera changes the color of my green screen because of the lighting i use. I wanted to know if trhere was a way to turn off the feature that ajusts to the lighting. Becasue it makes it SO HARD to key when it ajusts to the lighting. THANKS ALOT
How many flashes does a Red Light Camera take? I was crossing an intersection in New York City. By the time I passed the crosswalk, the light was still yellow but there was a car behind me that also crossed the light. The camera light flashed one and 0.5 to 1 second later flashed a second time. Is there one flash per a vehicle in New York or two per car? Thank you very much. P.S. This happened on the West St(Westside highway) and Houston street

Best camera/lighting for professional product photos? I've started my own business and it's going wonderfully, now I want to make a website to start selling them online too. Only problem is I don't have a good camera for taking professional-looking photos. Also I know that lighting makes up alot of a good photo, but I'm pretty clueless there too. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good camera and/or good lighting to use for it? Any ideas where I could find them for a good price? Thanks. The products mostly consist of musical instruments, larger gaming controllers, clothing (jackets, dresses, etc), and other sorts of things, all covered in rhinestones.
I ran through a light, and a camera got me...? I have another ticket on my record, that has about 5 months before it is off my point count.

Is there a red light camera on State college and chapman ave. in fullerton? Is there a red light camera on this intersection (chapman ave and st. college blvd)? I don't see any photo enforced signs or those poles that hold cameras on the middle of the lane dividers but I still see some cameras placed on top of the light boxes. I'm not sure if you can still get a ticket in the mail for running a red light barely in this intersection. Can anyone know?
How can a red light camera ticket affect me? I heard it can affect my credit somehow. That's ALL I'm worried about. How can a red light camera ticket affect me if I don't pay it?

Is the driver identified in the citation sent in OH red light camera tickets? Just wondering what the pictures are like when one receives a red light camera citation. My gf was driving my car in OH when I went through a yellow/then red and I'm concerned about a ticket. Just wondering what the pictures are like when one receives a red light camera citation.

How do you know if a red light has a camera? I know that in Texas sometimes the media tells you what intersections will be having a red light camera... now the question is... how would I find out which intersections already have it? Would it be public information? Since the media knows where new cameras will be installed... isn't there a list you can request?
Got flashed by a red light camera but I was running a green light? It was about 9:30 pm and I was going past a red light camera area. The light flashed once to my left and then another time right in front of me and was almost blinding. The thing is though, the light was green when I was driving. Could it be that it flashed at someone else? I also am pretty sure I was not speeding.
Can I argue against the ticket from a red light camera that I got when trying to make a left turn? The red light camera went off while I was making a left turn today. I was waiting at the light to make a left turn when the light was green. I was the first car in the line and I was slightly infront of the white line. The thing is that there wasn't an opening until the cars slowed down for the yellow light. As I waited to make sure that the cars would come safely to a stop (there are plenty of NYC cars that would go through the red light), The light turned red as i began to make the left turn and the red light camera went off. Is there a chance that I argue against it? Thanks for your responses. I reading up on the NYS DMV it states that I can enter the intersection when green and make the turn as cars stop for the red light. "You want to turn left at an intersection ahead. A vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction, going straight ahead. You must wait for approaching traffic to go through before you turn. You may enter the intersection, however, to prepare for your left turn if the light is green and no other vehicle ahead of you is preparing for a left turn (see "Turns" later in this chapter). When you enter the intersection, stay to the right of the center line. Keep your wheels straight to avoid being pushed into oncoming traffic should a rear-end collision occur. When approaching traffic clears or stops for a red light, complete your turn."
