Since D100 CANNOT do wireless TTL flash how do we

[Lloyd O'Daniel]

So is THIS forum the ultimate authority on Nikon equipment or is
Nikon the authority on thier own equipment.

It's not just this forum and other internet sites contradicting Nikon. Nikon is contradicting themselves on two websites as well as their "technical" support staff.

I have an SB30 and can verify it does NOT do D-TTL. I got it as a
small pocketable fill flash for the F100 (TTL okay here) and tried
it on my D100. No way. It will work in manual mode and as a remote
infrared wireless with the D100.

I've used both the onboard flash and SB80 to trigger the remote SB30.

OK, now I'm confused. You can use the onboard D100 flash (Or attached SB-80DX) to trigger slave SB-30's in auto or manual mode? As I understand it, the triggering (onboard) flash in that scenerio would also have to be in a non-TTL mode so the monitor preflashes wouldn't prematurely fire the slaves. Is that correct?
