I need help, here's my problem: I have a flash (strobe) and an external light meter, I'm doing studio photography and I have a Nikon N70.
I followed all of the directions in the manual to set up the camera to use the external strobe, the light meter can trip the flash but when I go to take a picture the camera is not tripping the flash.
I have the camera set at 1/100 or 1/60, which is below the suggested 1/125 that the manual suggests. I have a hot shoe adaptor hooked up to the camera.
As far as anyone can tell things are set up correctly. Any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks now for all your help.
