I lost my manual and I can't get it on my phone.

Does the SB600 have a built in optical trigger? My nikon does not support cls so I wasn't sure.

You mean a nomal 'slave' function? No.

 

[Kbarredo]

Ahh damn so I have to attach my radio trigger to the sb600 and set my monolights on optical mode.

 

[480sparky67 67]

So you're trying to trigger both an SB600 and a monolight? With what? If your Nikon camera supports it, can you use the CLS?

No I wanted to trigger the monolight with my radio trigger. Then trigger my sb with the monolight flash. my radio trigger does not fit my sb so I wondered if It had a built in slave trigger. My camera doesn't support cls.

Which radio trigger are you using?

Edit: I've been thinking about getting a radio trigger. The D7000 has a built in commander mode but line of sight lighting can be boring.

Why don't you try it the other way around fire the flash and have it fire the strobe, most strobes have a slave.

Shoot well, Joe

IIRC, you're an aspiring pro? If you're so disorganized you can't keep track of user's manuals (critical information about features, functions, controls, and how to use your tools), how will you keep track of all the client and business stuff.

No, the SB-600 does not have an optical slave mode, which in Nikon speak is known as SU-4 mode. Someone else already linked you to Nikon's online PDF of the SB-600 user's manual.

Oops! Wrong again! Your D5000 does in fact support Nikon's CLS, but the D5000 does not have one of the CLS features - Commander mode. (See pages 198-201 in your D5000 user's manual.)

I highly recommend you spend some time re-reading all your user's manuals

Would that require actually reading the monolight's user's manual?

Dang, some of you guys are pretty harsh. Between this post and several others this week it might make some newbies a bit intimidated to jump in here and look elswhere.

Because the sb needs to be fired off camera as well. sorry I meant the D5000 cannot fire the sb off camera without another sb600 or 900 or radio trigger. I sold the 900 to get the monolights. I worded it wrong but get over yourself. God I don't need your big headed opinion just the answer. I guess you never misplace anything in your life right. Self absorbed douche. I swear some people here need a fat lip. I'm pretty sure many people here (including me) would knock your teeth in if they ever saw you.

"Someone else already linked you to Nikon's online PDF of the SB-600 " So then why are you talking? Is it to start a fight. Or do you feel that your insults and childish snide comments must be heard.
