Okay, Flash settings: ISO 6400 maximum. F/16 and zoom @35mm and still on Automatic.
Camera settings: Programmed minimum shutter speed at 1/125s, f/8 flashing in the viewfinder and Mode on Shutter Priority. Note; I went back and used the settings you recommended earlier and when I went to shoot, the camera would hold on to ISO 200, but jumped up and ended up with serious overexposures. Now with the settings that I have given you, the photos are nearly perfect, just a shade over. I do know that sometimes the strobe's settings will override the camera's and vice versa, so it isn't consistent. I believe that I will have to fidget with it with each individual photo until it is right.
So, I believe that the flash is sometimes compatible and sometimes not. The other option I have is to use the onboard flash which Nikon managed to send out a weaker beam in order to let the battery last longer. It is supposed to be set to let out just the exact amount of light, however I have tried it several times and adjustments are necessary also. Well, from here I will not take up anymore of your time. Thanks again, as always you are very gracious and generous with your time and knowledge. Happy New Year.
