(Q) Camera Slave (cordless remote photography)
When set to “Camera Slave”, the SB-104’s built-in slave sensor can detect
the flash of another Speedlight, and as it flashes the SB-104 will signal the
Nikonos RS to release its shutter simultaneously, exposing the frame.
Cordless remote photography can be performed with another Speedlight
that can be flashed.
—It is effective up to a distance of 10 meters (32.8 feet) and can be performed only
with the Nikonos RS.
(5] Flash Slave
The SB-104 can be fired simultaneously with other Speedlights (SB-104,
SB-101, SB-102 or SB-103) mounted on the Nikonos RS, V, or IV-A when its
built-in slave sensor detects the flash of other Speedlights.
—This is useful when you want to add more light to your scene or when you wish
creative photographic lighting. When the SB-104 is set to “Fiash Slave”, it acts
as a second light source for another primary camera and Speedlight.
