Hello!
Late last year I bought a Nissin Di600 flash for my Canon 400D. It seems to do a decent job and I've got an off body cable. But I've a spare tripod and wanted to do some portrait work so thought I might use the flash via remote.
However I'm confused by the vast array of info.
I'll probably have to use an IR system because budgets are a big issue for me.
My flash blurb says that it has wireless slave functions. Does that mean that I only need a trigger and not a receiver because there's one inbuilt?
As I'll be doing portraits and probably mostly with a 50 mm 1.8 I'd very much like to avoid using the pop up flash as the trigger.
Can anyone give me pointers on what I should be looking for please?
