Enable external flash on Nikon D3000? 3
I am trying to use PROMATIC FTD 2500 with NIKON D3000 but I can't activate external flash. All good information. Thank you very much.
This is a flash that uses a module that allows you to work with different camera systems. Although this is a Nikon module, it is a different form of TTL that understands your D3000 and I don't know how to work with TTL.
Now if you have a switch in your mode that says 1/16, M, A, TTL, you can still blink. You cannot use TTL positions, but something else must work. You are not using a TTL PIN, only intermediate Xsync contacts.
A is automatic mode, which means you set the flash and the camera to the same ISO and aperture, keep the SD trigger in full sync, and the flash controls its output.
M is manual, flash is always on.
1/16 is exactly the same ... 1/16 performance. Flash fires 1/16 at a time, resulting in very fast recycling time but very short range.
Try non-TTL mode. If nothing else works, it is possible that the module may be faulty, the Flash itself may be faulty, or (maybe) you have something wrong.

I don't know about cameras and flash, but if Flash has TTL mode for Nikon DSLR, use it. If it doesn't exist then I do it with normal flash.
Set the camera to manual mode and use 1/60 SD shutter (or whatever the camera has SD flash time). Set the flash to automatic or manual. Focus on the topic. Read the distance and follow the instructions on the back of the flash (not necessary in auto mode). Use the suggested aperture behind the flash (even in automatic mode). !
Sounds like an old flash and probably not Minolta or Nikon. I don't think it will work on your Nikon D3000. You should have a flash that has good electronic connections and good communication with the computer - that is, it is compatible with your camera. Manually check your bidder for synced Flash units.
You need to program the camera to see the flash. For more information, see our bid guide.
