was considering getting an external flash unit for my nikon D50 and read about people talking abt wireless control and commmander mode and slave flash....
from what i seem to sort out (can't quite understand), commander mode not on nikon D50 will require nikon speedlight SB-800 to have the commander mode on the flash, and this commander mode seems to be a wireless remote control to control flash output from a 2nd external flash (slave) not put on the horseshoe of my camera, am i rite to say that?
which means that there is no pt of me worrying abt this wireless thingy if i intend to shoot only with 1 external flash attached to my nikon D50?
but what i'm confused with is, if i subsequently want to use a wireless remote control to shoot bulb mode on my nikon D50, does the wireless remote control need to have a corresponding wireless feature on the flash? me knew next to nothing abt flash, so what i gather is that i should have already preset the flash setting on my camera body and switch to bulb mode and when i'm ready to shoot, i will press the wireless remote control and the camera body will fire off the shoot with the flash, am i rite to say that too?
