[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 601356, member: 24285"] So I tried the optical slave - by which I mean I turn the SB-700 to "SU-4" from the manual it says: "SU-4 type wireless multiple flash-unit photography: wireless multipleflash-unit photography suited to taking picture of a fast-moving subject" - but I thought it just meant that with SU-4 the flash is now in optical slave mode? Anyway, SU-4 worked. I did spin the flashhead 180° which made it a pain to make manual adjustments but trigger worked well. And I suspect that same trick of turning the head would make ti work in CLS too. .... tried it and it does. Just need to be careful about placement to ensure 'line of sight". [ATTACH=CONFIG]241493._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]241494._xfImport[/ATTACH] Decided to shoot my gear. I did try to trigger these optical flashes with my camera phone flash - didn't work. This reduces the 'need' to buy triggers as I can now trigger a flash with this umbrella-softbox contraption - in manual. Having the control of the power on top of the camera would be a nice touch. This is how the end product looked. A 'little' colour shifting for fun post. [ATTACH=CONFIG]241495._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
