Yes, that’s the default. No card in the camera, firewired to computer. Black

Unhook camera, slap on a lens, put in a memory card, wal la, a photo!

Have you tried shooting without the card in the camera? Is there a setting
which directs the output? With our home brewed system we do not have a memory
card in the camera back, only a hard wired connection.

Camera works fine disconnected from firewire, with card
Flash, shutter, all OK
USB and Firewire cable are being recognized by computer as being valid and live
However, when card in slit lamp, connected to Firewire, photos are black
Checked settings. Shutter at 125. ISO 400. Nothing’s changed

Short term, see if your camera can write to an SD card or whatever card it
uses. You could then transfer the images to your CPU this way.
Specifically, what shutter speed are you using?
Is there an X-synch setting which may have been turned off or reset somehow?
Do you see a preview image on the camera's screen?
I have had cables fail and camera plugs fail. Firewire, especially the small
firewire plugs are more prone to this than USB.
Turn everything off, then spray contact cleaner on all the connections, plug
and unplug those connectors while they are wet with the cleaner. Careful, it
might be flammable and definitely bad to breathe.

Help!
My OLD Nikon FS3V slit lamp camera with D200 Nikon Back
Have double/triple checked all settings on D200
Rechecked, rehooked cables
Flash is engaging
Shutter opens. You hear it
Fireware sending BLACK image to computer. Something is blocking light from
camera to Firewire to computer
Bad Firewire cable? Flash appears to be going off fine. SOUND and setting of
shutter OK
Your thoughts before I cry uncle and spend a lifetime on the phone with Nikon?
