Re: Nikon SB800 - How to reduce flash output without undrexposing shot ?

I know next to nothing, OK, nothing about this issue. I do know that it is said that the Nikon flash system is excellent and can do pretty much everything, and it is complex and really you need to go on a three month residential course to get the best out of it.

The system is obviously reading the whole shot, so I'm guessing that maybe there is another way to set the SB-800 so that it is just outputting less light, but without the camera 'knowing' that it is. Maybe a different control mode?

I've also got to ask, if the built-in flash gave you a perfect exposure, why did you feel the need to use the SB-800?
