setting the D70 to M overrides auto mode and setting the flash to M does it for the flash

the reason this is necessary is because if either the camera or the flash is in auto exposure mode they will prefire the flash to get the light reading...this prefire fires your alien bees so when the full power flash fires to take the photo the bees havent yet recharged and the picture is not propewrly exposed

to you it looks like everything is working right because to you the prefire looks like part of the flash...its very fast ...

Hope this helps
