Joe, you only need one or the other. If you use the PC cord on the bottom of
the Power Grip you will only get a manual flash, no TTL auto exposure. If
the -flash- is set for stand-alone auto operation you will get an auto flash
exposure, but not TTL. Otherwise you will have to use guide numbers and
figure the aperture that way. The camera body will have to be set to 1/60 or
slower shutter speed, or the pictures will not come out right.
If you use a TTL cord and plug into the connector on the Power Grip
(actually called a 'Bounce Grip') and into the TTL connector on the camera
you will get TTL flash, so long as the camera and flash are set correctly.
For the camera body, set to 'auto' exposure. For the flash, set to 'TTL
auto', by flipping the calculator slide over so the numbers are not showing.
Again, you have to set an aperture such that the camera will produce an
'auto' shutter speed below 1/60 second, or the flash will not fire as the
camera will assume there is enough light without it.
