SB800 blues

[The_Traveler]

I have limited experience with the SB800 altho I have been successful in using it off-camera as the remote.

Now It seems to be stuck in this screen pictured below and I can't get it back to the basic screen.

Any help?
any link to good tutorial on the SB800 (the manual is terrible)
thanks in advance.

hold "sel" - select - for a couple seconds, you get a menu (the blocks will be highlited) of iso options, lcd briteness, AF illumination, etc. scroll up until you see the box with 2 squiggly lines and 2 flash icons inside. select this. you will get the following options:

off
master
master rpt (repeat)
remote
su-4

select "off" and you'll have the basic/dedicated menu.
hope this helps.

Thanks a lot.
That worked.
The manual is mum on the fact that the basic menu doesn't
appear when master or remote are active.
Thanks again.

cheers, no worries!

i found i was overwhelmed at first with the 800, but once you play with it for a while (rather than reading the manual - it's lacking) you get pretty fluent with it's modes and features. trial and error prevails sometimes.
