I use mine with a wireless trigger and it works fine. The only problem is that the flash goes into sleep mode every few minutes. It is annoying. I wish there was a way to make sure it stay awake until I shut it done.

You COULD, but you'll need to have or purchase a remote trigger for the flash. There is no built-in remote trigger option on the flash itself.

Yes can be triggered by another flash. Either first curtain or second curtain. No remote trigger needed it flashes when it senses another flash go off.

This flash does not have ability to be used off the camera (triggered wirelessly), but supports PC link (wired connection).

I have not tried using it off camera. I would go to the manufacturers website and ask them to be sure.

Not unless they use this type. If it calls for AA these will damage your flash if attempted to be used.

It has a mode that acts as a slave, but is only activated by other flashes in this mode. You could, for all intents and purposes, use your on-camera flash to fire this one remotely. However, if you did not want the on-camera flash to affect your subject's exposure, you'd have to gobo that flash.

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash. Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure. Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works..... I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

Yes. On the turn dial on the backside of the camera, you will see a flash picture. If you press the dial in that direction, you are prompted with an interface on the screen to let you force the flash off. I've done it a few times. Works great.

There is a button on the left side of the camera that will rise the flash. In most cases, you won't need the flash, but you can use it if you wish.

You can turn on and turn off the flash, unless you set it to automatic mode.

Yes. You go to Menu>Camera settings>2>Flash mode. Select "fill flash" from the menu and the flash will go off, regardless of the light levels. Naturally, the flash needs to be opened/up for this to work.

no. the viewfinder plugs into the same slot as the flash, so they can't be used at the same time

Yes I have used two off camera. actually you can do more than two. I have done three. You will need to find some quite time or a corner to get to know your flashes.

I rarely use flash and certainly do not use flash with this item. I don't imagine it would work very well with flash.

It can, but I cannot imagine under what circumstances you would use it off the lens. It is designed specifically for close-up work, and is not a substitute for a normal flash accessory.

There is no hot shoe for an external flash so im going to say probably not unless there is a way to do it via usb which I doubt because the usb seems to be data only. But the built-in flash is very good

I have a D7000. I have not used as a shutter release, only to fire off camera flash

Depends on how you use the flash. If it is on a light stand I usually use these giant rubber tie things. And tie them to the stand. I wouldn't recommend putting it on the camera if you plan on handholding it. It doesn't work well at all. Would be fine for tripod use. Make sure you have good rechargeable batteries like the Sanyo eneloop X ones or whatever they are. Enjoy!

Yes. Be sure to read your manual, but you can use your flash and anything else you want provided it's supported by the specific function.

No. But if your goal is to use the flash off-camera, there is a TTL cord available
