Shooting with studio stobe lights


I have a Nikon D2H and have bought the Navatron V660D strobe light kit with 3 lights. I can't control the exposure unless I roll the exposure compensation to -5.
Thanks

  You CANNOT use your camera in any AUTO modes (P, A, S) with Novatron strobes, or any other studio strobes for that matter. Set your camera to 'M' (manual), then meter the studio setup with your incident meter, adjust your lens to that f-stop, then set a shutter speed of 1/60 sec for most studio work.
