Hi Glad to Help. Yes you can use it Off Camera. I use mine Off Camera alla the time with RadioTriggers but you can can shoot it with Optical firing (with your on CAmera Flash). It is a very powerful and easy to use Flash. You will not be Dissapointed if you buy it....Aaron

yes. this flash works independently and is compatible with most dslr cameras. hope this helps.

Yes you can. You can use triggers to fire it or the old school way of using a sync chord. Works great!

I don't have the answer to that but the flash failed the 2nd time I turned it on and I returned it. I do not recommend buying it.

Yes, if you have it in one of the automatic modes. Watch out for the flash itself as it rises out of the top left of the camera and if you have your finger there, it gets in the way.

Yes I placed it on the plastic stand that comes with the unit and took a shot (with my built-in flash turned on) facing away from the unit and it worked. I think the unit can pick up the flash from the camera as light bounces off walls which will fire the off camera flash.

It's useful for both on and off camera flash. It's a pretty cheap and portable alternative to a bigger soft box. If it can help you, here's an example of a series of photos I took with only 1 off camera Canon speedlite and this very same Fotodiox soft box to diffuse the light: http://sublime-digital.com/portfolio/maternity-photo-shoot/

This will work with any external flash for any dslr camera. Yes, to shoot off camera you will need to purchase a transmitter, otherwise you can use the flash reception if your camera has that feature.

Use ours for the same reason. Have never seen the flash go off and ours is near our front door! Doesn't miss a thing. The camera needs very little light to focus..excellent.

Yes the strobe has switchable salve triggering, and it can be turned off or on. And yes you can use your on camera flash to trigger the strobe with no problem.

No. But if your goal is to use the flash off-camera, there is a TTL cord available

I believe you don't. This flash is E-TTL and compact camera doesn't use it (it requires a SLR camera). I use it in a G9 and G12 in full manual mode.

No, as long as you're using it mounted directly to the camera as an on camera flash.

Not that I know of. There is not intelligent link between flash and camera. The only way I get results that are suitable is to set camera on manual and set shutter speed - f stop and if needed ISO to get proper exposure.

Not unless you are doing some short, stroposcopic videos. This flash only puts out measured bursts of light, not a steady stream suitable for video use.

No. There is a small button next to the flash. Push this button when you want to use the flash.

I have a D7000. I have not used as a shutter release, only to fire off camera flash

You can use an rca plug from the flash to the pc plug on the camera. Or use the on camera flash to trip the sync on the flash head

Yes. Exactly. You can use one at the camera'a hot shoe and one other at each flash being controlled by it. Just stop looking and buy it. There's not even a closer solution available at the same price range.
