Direct Remote Wireless Multiple Flash-Unit Photography - Nikon SB-5000 Reference Manual

Direct Remote Wireless Multiple
Flash-unit Photography
In direct remote wireless multiple flash-unit photography, the remote flash
units fire automatically in response to flash light of the master flash unit.
Because the master flash unit does not emit monitor pre-flashes before
actual firing, the master and remote flash units fire almost simultaneously,
making it particularly suited to photographing fast-moving subjects. The
SB-5000 can be used only as a remote flash unit.
• Be sure to cancel the master flash unit monitor pre-flash function to
prevent the flash units from firing accidentally.
