it looks like you need a sync cable (pc to miniplug example here) for at least one light and a pc sync cord adapter like thisnikon as-15. the other lights can be put on slave (triggered by thelight connected by the sync cord. also, you can go the wireless route for pretty cheap. there are decent remotes on ebay like this. at the minimum, you should at least pick up an umbrella and stand for each light too if you don't have those.Originally Posted by DREDAY0789

my dad has some lights that he doesnt use and said i could have them if i figure out how to use them. the lights are Norman ML-400 (http://www.adorama.com/NMML400.html) and i need to know what i have to buy to use them. i have a Nikon D40. any/all help is definitely appreciated.

You know when you manually change the exposure, the little indicator moves to the left or right???
Well when you shooting manual, depending on your F number, the indicator is going to move in one direction and you have to set the shutter speed to balance out the indicator so it can be in the middle.

What's funny is I didn't know that for the 1st 3 months when I first got my dslr. I'd just guess the exposure and look at the back then adjust from there. Only until I decided to try film did I learn to meter.
