Hi guys I hope someone can help me, I just bought a sb-28 flash, and when I choose the manual mode, it asks me to set up everything, ISO, ZOOM, APERTURE, so my question is how iso will affect here?? i turn iso 100 or 400 and same results ofr each setup.....I dont remember my 580ex having this option, actually I only switch the power and the zoom when using manual mode....

Note, im using this sb28 as OFFcamera flash...

thanks!

I don't know much about that flash but you shouldn't have to set anything other than the power level if you are using it in manual mode. I guess if you set the ISO and aperture, it will tell you the approx flash shooting distance.

Here is a link that may help: http://www.mir.com.my …5/SB28Manual/in​dex3.htm#A (external link)

Yep, the ISO and such are just used for the distance scale, they won't affect your flash output, and can be ignored (I never bother with it on my SB-25 and 26). If you put it in auto mode, though, it'll use them to calculate exposure.
