[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 269183, member: 12496"] An optical slave mode requires the triggering flash to be in MANUAL flash mode. Your camera has the menu (E1 I think?) to set the internal flash to either TTL or Manual mode. If manual, you can set its power level there too (very low power probably triggers the optical slave OK). The remote optical slave is also in Manual flash mode. The very common problem/question is that if the triggering flash is in TTL mode, it fires a TTL preflash, which triggers the optical salve too early (before the shutter is open), and then it appears as if the slave could not contribute to the lighting. The triggering flash must be in MANUAL mode (no preflash). Then it should easily work fine. [/QUOTE]
