Remote Flash Photography
Remote flash units can be controlled via
optical signals from an optional flash unit
mounted on the camera accessory shoe and
functioning as a master flash (optical AWL; for
information on compatible flash units, see
“The Nikon Creative Lighting System”,

question is an SB-5000 or SB-500, settings can be adjusted from
the camera (see below); otherwise settings must be adjusted
using flash unit controls as described in the documentation
provided with the unit. For information on flash placement and
