very good explanation snipped

I knew it would be different for different cameras. My question was, "Does
the camera become a slave once you put it on flash mode, and the settings
you put in get overridden by the camera?"

And I guess the answer is Yes, No, Definitely, Maybe, and I don't know.

For the record, it is a Nikon 7000.
