Why isn't my external flash going off?

I am using a TT500 speedlite external flash and a Nikon D500 DSLR camera.i've got a radio slip set up so that the flash should go off when I hit the shutter. I've checked the channel the radio slip is on and tried turning it off and on.the batteries are full.any help?

Which lens is best for wildlife photography?

I am completely new to DSLRs and am doing some research before I decide which to buy. I was originally thinking of getting the Nikon d3100 as a kit with the 18-55mm lens. However I have read that that lens isn't very good for taking photographs of wildlife from further away, like birds, is this true? And if so is the 55-200mm better for this?

Finally I have read that the lens is the most important part so if I decide to go with the 55-200mm lens what body should I buy? Entry level so nothing too expensive

Thank you for your help, sorry of these questions seem a bit stupid, just trying to get to grips with the basics first!

Cant download on new Laptop?

I bought a Laptop today, a HP one… latest.No idea of any of the info, as it didn't come with much except a box - anyway. I do make videos, and I use a Nikon D3100 and edit on Windows Movie Maker which was on my old Laptop which came with the editing site, but on this one I have to download the site and to be honest, I cant figure it out. I've downloaded Movie Maker (latest version) about 5 times, and it still doesn't show up.It has changed my internet search bar to Funmoods which now I cant seem to switch back to Google, even though I do change it in settings. I find the Movie Maker in my Laptop, click it, and it downloads again - yet each time it says "successfully downloaded"
What do I do? I need the site by tomorrow as I'm making another video tomorrow!

I need a flash for my Nikon?

I am looking to purchase flash for my Nikon D-5100. I would like to know which you guys think would be the best to buy.

Thank you

Lumix FZ200, Canon SX40/50HS, or something else?

I've been a semi-pro photographer (still images) for some years now, and I've been interested in making videos for some time, but I always get confused when it comes to choosing a video camera.It's just way more complicated than choosing a still image camera. I'm using a Nikon system right now and I know from first hand experience that Nikon SLR's still produce pretty crappy videos, so going the video SLR route is not viable unless I go double system and buy Canons for video. I'll be using the video cameras for both professional and personal use. I do not think I need a broadcasting grade video camera, but if that's the only real option I have, I will save up for it.

I currently have the Canon SX40 HS, and while I am quite satisfied with its still image output, I can't say the same for its video output. The SX40 just hunts too much while recording video, and the videos seem too noisy in low light situations. Does the SX50 or the FZ200 make better videos in low light?

something like this would be my goal in the future:

alas, I do not have 10, 000 dollars to spend on a new video camera yet, so basically I'm looking for the best compromise of this camera. Something with pretty good video IQ, no weird focus hunting, higher FPS recording is a plus, but not necessary, and either a flexible range or interchangeable lenses.

Nikon lens repair possible?

On a rough airline flight several months ago my lens became damaged. I know it is too late to file a claim with the airline. One of the plastic lugs that the camera uses to lock on to the lens is broken off. I didn't notice it right away because I switched lenses shortly after the flight and haven't tried to use that lens again until today. Anyway the lens will not install on the camera.

Anyway does anyone know if that kind of damage to the lens can be fixed? The closest factory authorized repair facility is over 200 miles away so it would have to be shipped.

Any suggestions on a camera for personal use and beginner users?

I'm looking for a camera, but I'm also on a slight budget. I can't really spend over $150.
I am not so familiar with cameras, but I do want one. I am planning to go on a trip soon & I wanted to get a ton of pics. I was planning to go out to the beach & then towards the mountains.wanted to get a ton of pics where i'm headed & possibly with friends. I don't really know the differences in the resolution, megapixle, etc.on the camera's.
everyone tells me to get a Nikon, Canon or Sony. I'm not planning to make any videos with it, just taking pics. also, I wanted to get one that you can upload pictures to on a laptop to edit, if possible.
Added (1). Well. I do want a camera that's portable. if its tiny, then i'll settle with it as long as it's at least decent on the photos.
