A couple days ago, in our forum, Charlie raised the following question:
Padgett happens to address this (in a post later in his thread):Charles Krebs wrote:. . . (is it) possible to trigger an electronic flash from live-view with the camera set to "silent live view"? If possible it would be great to know if this is possible with both a Nikon brand flash, as well as with a "non-dedicated" manual flash (like a studio flash or an inexpensive manual YongNuo or similar).
"Another quick note about the silent mode...... it does not fire the flash. While I can see why you wouldn't want flash if you've chosen to shoot silently, but for when your just trying to use those extreme high/low angles with the tilty screen and you need flash.....you'll have to switch to the regular live view mode."
Drat!
