[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 347447, member: 12496"] The 560 III has menus and options. Its S1 slave mode can be a regular optical slave (manual flash), triggered by the flash of an other flash, including the D610 internal flash if it is in Manual mode. (only in Manual mode). No Commander. This 560 model will NOT trigger from the Commander. Or the III model has a radio trigger in it (II model does not), which can be triggered from a Yongnuo RF-603 transmitter on the camera hot shoe. That would be without the internal flash. Or you could use a cable between flash and camera. Two choices. A PC sync cable, or a hot shoe extension cable (Nikon SC-28 or SC-17, for example). That would be without the internal flash. I also think you should consider a TTL flash, to take advantage of the nifty things the D610 will do for you. I mean, you paid your money, you ought to consider gear compatible with its neat features. For example, the Yongnuo YN565EX is about $100 ([URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006R6TUJI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B006R6TUJI&linkCode=as2&tag=nikonites-20&linkId=JEYNA5CCWJPXGHJR"]see Amazon[/URL]), and (except for the radio trigger, which you could add for about $32, [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YW79F4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004YW79F4&linkCode=as2&tag=nikonites-20&linkId=TCQ6BRZHNPP7VHMM"]see Amazon[/URL]. This is two of them, one also on the flash, since this flash model does not have radio built into it). This 565 will do anything the 560 will do (manual flash if you want it), plus it can also do TTL (either on hot shoe, including bounce, or it has SL slave mode that can be triggered remotely by the D610 Commander (wireless, but using the internal flash, which can be disabled from contributing light into the picture). Entire new worlds are available there. This 565 also works with Nikons Balanced flash mode, which includes automatic fill flash in bright sun (as opposed to your trying to find and set proper flash power level for every manual shot). I mean, its only $30 more... to a D610 owner? :) If you might want HSS mode too, that is the 568 model, more expensive. If you don't know much about flash, TTL flash is point&shoot automatic flash exposure (like a compact camera, except now you can control it), whereas Manual flash means it HAS TO BE YOU that properly adjusts the flash exposure for every picture. Both modes are good stuff, and commonly used, but Manual is VERY manual. TTL is about $30 more, but it can make a really huge difference.
