SB 910 Focus assist

[NikonKev]

Need some edification please.
When trying to focus in very low light with the Camera in M Mode i don't get the red light assist from the flash which leads to out of focus shots.
They all come on when in Auto mode ......
I suspect either i have the combo set wrong or this is a limitation and not a fault

Found this on another site

change to M,A,S,P mode, press and hold the button at the af switch, turn your thumb dial and it'll change between af-a, af-s and af-c.

also make sure to turn your pointer dial while the af button is pressed to change it to auto multi point selection or if it is single point, make sure to press the ok button to select the centre focal point.

this will make the af assist light come on when light levels are low

Sorted now, It's sad how you forget things as old age creeps on
