Thanks so much for the contributions. I begin to understand flash a little. The 1st video is great to let me know I can use my D7000 built in flash as a trigger and by setting it to --, it does not add to the exposure. The 2nd video, I have a few questions. How actually do Groups and Channel function? Each flash at different locations must be in different Groups (A,B), and what does Channel do? Thanks in advance.
Thanks baggiolee. What 3rd party radio trigger would you recommend and how much? I see you have 2 speedlight. Would 1 radio trigger able to control multiple flash units? Sorry if I sound silly
nickzkcin said:Yes, 1 radio trigger can control multiple flash units. However if you're shooting alone with no interference, just use the pop up flash as a commander. Nikon's CLS makes it so your pop up flash fires a split second ahead of the shutter actuation and does not have an impact in your image.
Just to add, you need a receiver for each flash unit and one trigger on your camera
huh? Nikon CLS leh.. built in one leh...

sense rain said:Possible to make pop up flash with output as well? At the same time also trigger off cam sb600. .
yap...if you look directly at the built in flash, u can still see it flashes.
btw, i think black tape can also work...lol.
If you use black tape, the commander will not be able to send signals... IR still needs to pass through.
Nikon SU-800 is very useful, but it costs a few hundreds dollars,I thought can use the Nikon SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander Unit... then no need to use the built in flash???

the IR panel is less than twenty dollars.
