Controlling Remote Flash Units; Using The Sb-500 - Nikon Z 50 Reference Manual

Controlling Remote Flash Units

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" (0 432). If the flash unit in
question is an 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 other topics, see
the documentation provided with the flash units. The built-in
flash unit cannot be used as a master flash.
