Thanks, Tim.It looks like she'll have to go with a transmitter/receiver set, or borrow my strobes and trigger those by firing her flash (pointed away to not influence the scene). Thank you for all the help.

Hello, Tim I just discovered that the flashes my friend has are from Sigma. Does that rule out the possibility of having the Canon body trigger the flashes wirelessly?

Tim, would the EOS 50 D have that capability?

The camera in question is a Rebel T3i.

Thanks for the very thorough answer, Tim. I'll find out what model she has. Boston Bob, I might have phrased my question awkwardly. I meant to ask about the Commander mode that someone else referenced: using the pop-up flash to fire a separate strobe...
