What do you mean fully automatic? Yeah, sorry. ;-) O.K. 1) On the camera (any camera Leica, Nikon, Canon etc) all you need is a flash working with TTL or in automatic. 2) On the Nikon SU-4 (little box with a Nikon dedicated hot shoe) you need a Nikon or Nikon compatible flash.(Metz, Vivitar, Sunpack Sigma etc.) When you fire the camera + flash, the SU-4 will detect the flash and will start his own flash. Then the Camera (via TTL) or the flash himself (if automatic) will stop the flash. It will be detected by the SU-4, which will stop his own flash via the dedicated contacts. Hope it's clearer. Lucien
