[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 537811, member: 12542"] I have used both Nikons and Olympus Flash systems that used similar features the IR signals for the remote flashes. They do work inside a room as the IR signals do bounce as I had a flash inside one of those humungous Apollo Soft boxes that it surprised me. The Flash head was turned toward the box and body with the sensor to the subject. The white diffusion material is in front of the sensor which surprised me. Outside in bright sunlight is iffy but okay in shade and diffused (cloudy) is fine. I had one work across a stream, maybe 20 or 30 feet distance with the couple across the stream and the flash and umbrella. I generally use the radio triggers and the flash in manual mode and use a Sekonic Flash/Ambient light meter to get the proper exposure either inside or outside. One of the reasons I was not worried about no on board flash. I did buy a set of Yonguno transmitters and receivers that do use TTL and they seem to work fine with a mixture of Nikon and off brand compatible flashes. Not sure if the will help the OP but there have been work arounds. Lou Cioccio [/QUOTE]
