Stuart,
You should consider joining a CoolPix 990 forum, like:
http://www.egroups.com/group/coolpix990
Issues like this are discussed on a somewhat regular basis. I figured out
how to use my studio strobes with my CoolPix during the first week I owned
the camera about a year ago. I used a small external flash pointed away
from the subject (with the internal flash turned off) to set off my DynaLights.
Not much to do with Viewing Software.
