Flash on Nikon D60 does not work

This is a new camera, and I cannot get the flash to work. It seems as though there is a configuration problem which is causing this. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hello. When i first bought a D60, it was working perfectly outdoors at day and would work without a hitch with external flash. However, the internal flash would never get released. No menu option would be of any use, only symptoms were flashing 'flash' and 'question mark' symbols in the finder. NIKON service fixed it - There was nothing wrong with the camera electronics. The little flash release mechanism somehow acted up and NIKON staff fixed it in +- 5 minutes. I do hope you have yours in full working condition by now.

Will the nikon sb16 flash unit work with the Nikon D60

Yes. The trigger voltage of the SB-16 is well within the safety range of the D60 and other digital cameras. I use mine with my D90 without any problems. However, be aware that the SB-16 is a rather old flash, and will not work in the iTTL mode with the D60.

What setting should the camera be on for an

That depends on the flash. If it's CLS-compatible (Nikon SB-400, SB-600, SB-800, and SB-900) you can use it in any exposure mode (except flash off, of course). The easiest flash mode is Auto-TTL, though some of the other modes will give you better control under certain situations.

If it's not CLS-compatible, then you'll have to take it off Auto-TTL. If the flash has a sensor, you can let the flash control itself (assuming it's at the same distance from the subject as the camera). Otherwise you'll have to go manual.

Metz 45 cl-1 speed light & nikon d60

If the shoe of the flash is compatible with the hot shoe of the camera then yes go for it. Should the flash shoe be different then the flash will still work but with a shoe adapter. Both are TTL so I see no reasons why they won't work. I do know of a friend who uses the Nikon with the same flash but it has the battery pack fitting and uses an adapter on the camera's hot shoe. He does weddings galore and never had a problem even though he carries a spare he has never used it.

In what mode(s)? In the point&shoot modes the camera decides whether to pop up the flash. In PSAM modes you decide.
