[QUOTE="Revet, post: 252208, member: 17612"] I can use a little help here in understanding the what's going on with the SB-700 when shooting in SU-4 mode as a remote. The settings in this mode are either Auto, manual, or off. The manual states that in the Auto mode, the remote flash sync's with the master (starts and stops with the master). In the manual mode, it only starts with the Master. What is the point of that if you are using Speed lights??? Is this for if your using Auto FP mode or studio lights? or is it something that 'just is' and the next statement below is the more important part of the manual mode? The manual also states that in Auto, total flash outputs are controlled; whereas in manual, you can set them separately. That part I do understand and can see how it can be applied in photography. Last thing, In Auto mode, the remote can fire up to 23 feet in front of the master but in manual mode it will work up to 123 feet in front. Why this huge difference??? For all of you out there that could care less about stuff like this, Good for You!!! Wish I could do that sometimes!! [/QUOTE]
