Hello everyone,

I have had a problem with my D80 lately, when I try to use a manual focus lens, the flash would not work, no matter what! I do have it on full manual, but once i open the built in flash, the flash box in the lcd screen starts blinking, any ideas?

thanks a lot

I have the same problem. I just got a fisheye lens for my d80 and the flash does the same thing.

Any kind of info on this would be great.

Isam, I figured it out. Go into your setup menu and make sure that the flash is set to manual (makes sense since everything else is manual). You can adjust the power of the flash too. It works perfect with my lens. Hope this helps.
