Question: Is the Colorsplash flash compatible with the Nikon D60!?
Hello, I’m a bit new to this but I've read the Nikon manual, and it states only Nikon Speedlights should be used!. “Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory shoe should not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash!.” I have no idea what voltage the Colorsplash is and I can’t find it anywhere!. What are the possibilities of destroying the sync circuitry!?

If anyone knows if I am able/not able to use such a flash, please notify me!

Here is the site for the flash:

The idea of using a $35 toy flash unit on a $400 or so camera as an external flash is interesting!.

Nikon makes a few dedicated flash units designed just for their DSLR cameras!. Currently they are the SB400, SB600, SB800 and SB900!.

If you want to add colour, you can use colour gels!.

I use Rosco sample colour correction gels between my SB600 and the diffusion filter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well I would not recommend any other flash then a Nikon flash for a Nikon camera it's rare but you could fry your cameras electronics using a third party flash!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
