Hello everyone. First post. I'm looking for help. I just got my first external flash, a YN468-II and I'm trying to use it on a Nikon D3100. I can't figure this thing out. Either I'm completely out of my league (very reasonable), or there's something wrong. I've been searching the internet for a couple hours and can't find any answers. I'm trying to rule out user error before sending it back. Here's where I am.
-The flash when connected via hotshoe will not fire in M (manual) mode.
-The flash will fire in TTL mode connected to the camera, but the flash is out of sync with the shutter. Pictures taken with the flash look exactly the same as pictures without the flash. Doing lots of playing around, I've determined the flash is firing a split second before the shutter opens. I can't find any options to adjust this timing.
-off camera triggered by the camera's built in flash, everything works.
Any ideas.
