[QUOTE="yauman, post: 275697, member: 15418"] Yes, the firing is a low level light pulse from the camera to communicate with with remote SB910 - it's wireless communication by morse code flashing on/off!!! That's the reason for the system to work you must have a clear line of sight between the camera and the remote SB910! Look at the left side of the SB910 - you'll see an opening covered with a dark red lens -that's the sensor and must have a line of sight to the camera. That's why also the head can be twisted 180 deg - you'll need to do that if you have to put the light on your right side. Indoors is not much of a problem as enough stray bounced light can reach the sensor but outdoors, especially in the sunlight, triggering is quite problematic. [/QUOTE]
