Optical AWL

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). If
the flash unit in question is an SB-5000 or

camera (see "SB-5000/SB-500", 0 221); otherwise settings must
be adjusted using flash unit controls as described in the
documentation provided with the unit. For information on flash
placement and other topics, see the documentation provided
with the flash units.
