[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 212659, member: 12496"] Five possible choices: 1. With what you already have, use SB-700 SU-4 optical slave mode (manual flash). Set D5200 internal flash to manual flash also. Internal flash can also contribute lighting (using two flashes, fill on camera) with a higher power level, or it can just be only a trigger with a very low level. The SB-700 SU-4 mode will trigger in sync with it. Wireless. 2. Buy radio triggers, transmitter on hot shoe, receiver on flash foot. Still Manual flash mode. Wireless. 3. You can use a PC sync cord, if you add PC adapters to both flash and camera. Manual flash mode. 4. Could add a hot shoe extension cord (like Nikon SC-28). This can allow automatic TTL flash, but is typically a very short cord. If more than a couple feet from camera, the coil tension tends to tip over the light stand. Be sure to only use Spot metering mode with a SB-700 on such a hot shoe cord, to prevent different D-lens distance from messing up TTL exposure. 5. Add a Nikon SU-800 to hot shoe, to be a commander. This will also do automatic TTL flash mode. This would make more sense if with a couple of SB-700. Wireless. [/QUOTE]
