How to use flash without firing built in flash?

[GRbenji]

Optical is not just visible light. It's ANY light.

Do a search on the meaning of the word then.

And whatever, slave flashes are not trigger by infrared!

[fmeeran]

So are you saying slave flash trigger by infrared?

The slave flash can be triggered by using white light from the flash or 980nm infrared light from the su 800.

Please do. It just means any light. Anything to do with photons is an optical phenomenon.

I use an optical microscope everyday to record cells in ultraviolet, visible and infrared wavelengths. They are all optical wavelengths.

So are you saying slave flash trigger by infrared?

Yes. That's why on systems that use the pop-up flash to trigger, you can cover the flash with exposed film. The visible light is blocked, but the IR still passes through and triggers the flash.

BTW, infrared is light, but infrared is not optical!

Optical = visible light.

No.

I did.

Thank you for the trouble digging out all these info. Appreciated.

Can just state your point without making unnecessary remark...

Not to troll, but would your own remark be un-necessary too ? *scratch head*

Anyway I had probably taken TS's question literally, without considering wireless modes. Because mounting a compatible flashgun and turning it on on your camera usually defaults the flash to flashgun instead of on board. Hence my answer would have been a valid solution. However, your remark...should be examined in context of ITSELF

have a great saturday.

Hi I am using D7000 nikon with SB700 flash, I am new on using flash i just want to ask if how will I fire the flash of my SB700 without firing my built in flash . Using my D7000 only without any trigger?

thank you very much..

if you want a video to show you how to do that then use this link.

The D7000 does not have a separate IR emitter, instead it uses the flashes from the pop-up to send the signal. The IR signal is mixed up in the flashes. you can get the SG-31R screen so that the visible light from the flash is blocked while the IR signals pass through the screen. The screen can be bought for cheap.

Or you can buy the SU800 instead.

Well, my post was as irrelevant as yours, i'll certainly agree to that
Dude, you're stating the obvious. Not only Canon 'the almighty' implements this feature to prevent the pop-up flash being raised So what's the purpose of the "not to start a __vs __ war" point?

[Shizuma]

because im noob never use Nikon before la. that's why. so I can only share what I know.

where is the bonk-head smiley...? (please use your imagination since i can't find it)

Just slide it into your hotshoe, make sure it has full battery charge, turned on and lock.

Since TS mentioned the word "trigger", the assumption is that he wants to trigger the Sb700 flash wirelessly, rather than mount it on the camera
Therefore will require the use of the D7000's pop-up flash, if no other accessories used.

Sorry man, just trolling. Ttl cable can solve your problem too
