Hi:
I just got a couple of Flex TT5 Pocket Wizards for off camera flash, to replace the Plus IIIs. I wanted the flash and camera to talk to each other.
Here's my question: The book/pamphlet that came with the radios says under "Nikon modes not currently supported": Flash controls using camera's menus.
So, sounds like I can't adjust the flash power via the camera. So, to use flash compensation plus up or minus down, do I have to walk over to the flash and adjust it? If so, fine. But this seems to negate the reason I got these instead of Plus IIIs -- to do everything from the camera so I wasn't walking back and forth all the time between my shooting position and the off camera flash.
Am I missing something? Thank you.

Have you tried it, adjusting flash power up/down?
I cannot tell you, never used one, but surely that's got to be the most basic attribute you would want aside from having the flash actually off camera, because they are not cheap and you can do precisely the same thing with $20 triggers if you have to actually keep walking to/from the flash to adjust power levels.
Neil has used them and obviously others, but have you actually tested personally, there may be some 'trick' you need to do in a certain order, as I know Neil has indicated in a post somewhere you need to turn on/off in a certain order, could be wrong.
