Nikon Speedlight SB-22S TTL Flash

I have a Nikon 950 and have horrible red eye...

By Phoebe - usenet poster


I am getting shots where the pupil is white and the iris is red, which
drives red eye corrrection programs crazy.

I know there is an external bracket you can buy and a flash. But
which one and where?

All I can find on this very imformative newsgroup is bits and pieces
about this subject.

Does anyone have the whole solution and have tested it?

Also how much. I am already thinking about selling it and buying the
Kodak DC265. My DC 260 did not have that bad of problem with red eye.

All help is greatly appreciated.

If you don't mind spending a bit of money a shareware software pkg called
Qimage (#) has a semi-automatic (my
term) red-eye remover. It will arrange and print a whole page of color
photos along with annotated remarks below them, if you wish. It also can
rotate a jpg photo 90 degrees and save it without jpg induced loss. It's
the only thing I use to print color photos. RG

Sure. What I do is, select the *red* in each eye using the magic wand.

Then, go to the following Menu sequence: Image-
then, you will find the RED level at 100%. Just lower it until the eyes
look normal.

Um...no. You don't lose it, because you never had it to begin with. The
950 is NOT a TTL camera. It just fires the flash and squelches it when
the exposure is long enough.

I agree...the red-eye thing is horribly with the 950, but is not limited
to that camera. A whole lot of P&S cameras and digital cameras with the
flash close to the lens axis cause the same problem. I've been successful
removing red-eye with Photoshop.

The Nikon SK-900 bracket is the one Nikon recommends, and it's not bad,
but not great, either. I found an excellent bracket made by Stroboframe,
the Quick Flip camera bracket, and along with my Nikon SB-28 flash, it's
really excellent and does a great job. For a picture of the setup, look
here:

You will need a Nikon ES-900 adaptor and a Nikon SC-17 cord. This is not
an inexpensive setup, but I use it in a professional application and don't
mind the expense.

The SB-28 is an expensive speedlight; you could do nicely with the Nikon
SB-22s for a lot less money. The Stroboframe bracket is about $48, the
ES-900 adaptor is $55 and the SC-17 cord runs about $50. Not cheap, but
good stuff.

But the images are better with the 950.
