He has a remote flash transmitter in the hotshoe...sounded like from the OP that he wants to learn how to use off-camera, remotely-trigger flash, not be leashed to a TTL system in which the tail is wagging the dog?
Not sure...I thought he was working with an ***external** flash, being triggered by the hotshoe-mounted trigger...and so...when the on-camera flash pops up--there is ZERO "benefit" of having a TTL flash calling the shots...unless that remote flash off-camera is ALSO a fully-Nikon TTL-aware remote flash unit....and with a Nikon in-camera TTL pop-up flash sending out a TTL pre-flash signal, the second, external satellite flash will in 95% of cases, be mis-timed by 10,15,20 milliseconds...
