N95 can sync with strobes?

im just wondering if mobile phone flash can be used as source for optical triggering platform for maybe SB800's SU4 mode, and if can how fast can it actually sync :P

Dunno, I doubt it cos it's not xenon flash - maybe N82 can.

I've tried with a compact camera and SU-4 before, but not a phone.

i'm not sure about N95's camera flash can trigger a flashgun, but i've tried using my K810i to trigger my friend's SB-800.

it worked. but the picture was overexposed kaw kaw.

hahahah.

In theory, you can trigger the SB-800 with any device with a proper flash (as opposed to one of those constant light source flash-wannabes). In practice, the device must also have aperture priority mode to have proper exposure. Otherwise, exposure is a hit and miss affair.

U can trigger d sb800 by switching on/off d light.... and i have no xenon flash to try it out..
