I have a Sunpak DF4000u, which works beautifully with my D750 when attached to its hot shoe, but I am wondering if it will work wirelessly or if I'll first need to buy some triggers.

Here is a review:<br /><br />- - Mode (double-dash mode): The built-in Speedlight will not fire the main flash burst in this mode. It will fire the monitor pre-flashes, since it uses them to determine exposure and communicate with the external flash groups. Be sure you always raise the camera’s built-in flash in any of the Commander mode modes; otherwise, the external flash groups will not receive a signal and won’t fire their flashes.<br /><br />Also, you can buy a Nikon SG-3IR IR Panel that attaches to the camera and covers the built-in flash unit, preventing even the monitor pre-flashes from influencing the lighting in the photo, while still allowing it to control your external Speedlight flash. Buy one here:<br /><br />http://amzn.to/14uI54sDarrell Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197183656322856266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878137015229376104.post-41046912564900263132013-09-05T13:37:07.791-04:002013-09-05T13:37:07.791-04:00I own the Nikon D7100 and the sb 910 flash, My goa...I own the Nikon D7100 and the sb 910 flash, My goal somehow is to do close up work and I want the pop up flash not to fire while it controls in commander mode my sb 910 flash, is this possible? if not ill be very upset with buying this cameraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714065357542410717noreply@blogger.com
