Default what external flash feature is this?!
I was recently out at a music venue and in between sets I watched as a photographer took portraits of other music-goers. She seemed to be using an external flash that would stay lit/ illuminate the subjects. I currently own an SB-600, however I have never noticed a feature like this, Does anyone know what this feature is?
