The Nikon camera brand is well known for compatibility, and owners of a D90 digital camera seeking to use it with an SB-80DX flash will not be disappointed. Despite the flash's vintage, it can be used in conjunction with the D90 very successfully, though some features, like the full-TTL, called iTTL on Nikon cameras, are absent due to the flash's age. However, you can use the flash in automatic or manual mode, and it makes an great secondary flash for those with multiple lights.
Instructions
1. Turn the flash: Hold the power button until the LCD screen lights up green.
2. Loosen the hotshoe mount on the flash's foot by unscrewing the thumb screw.
3. Slide the flash onto the hotshoe on the top of the D90.
4. Tighten the thumbscrew on the flash's foot, to lock the SB-80DX onto the D90.
5. Set the flash to Automatic or Manual mode using the MODE button on the flash -- with A standing for automatic and M standing for manual. Follow the instructions in the user's manual for more information about both of these modes. Through the lens metering (TTL) will be available on the flash, but it will not work with this camera and the flash will not fire.
