Nikon Creative Lighting System
Is the SU-800 commander required to use the SB-600 as a wireless unit off camera or can the SB-600 be used as a wireless stand alone unit as implied in the manual on page 199?
Some of the Nikon cameras such as the D80, D200, D70, D70s, F6, D2X, D2H, and D2Hs have built in wireless control and will work with the SB-600 directly when the menu settings are correctly set and the on camera flash is up. This is the antenna for triggering the off camera flash.
Not all camera models have the built in wireless controller. Models that do not have the built in controller will need the SU-800 commander/transmitter or SB-800 which is a Speed Flash and commander/transmitter.
The owners manual of your camera should show if your camera has built in wireless control.
