Now if I put the speedlight inside a softbox, will it still be triggered?
Yes, under these conditions:
- the body of the SB-700 is rotated such that the CLS sensor faces the front of the softbox - this assumes your SB is entirely in the softbox. If the softbox has one of those head-inside / body outside mounts, then the SB-700 sensor needs to either face the pop-up or be rotated to face something the pop-up signals will bounce off of.
- the softbox is facing the subject (off of which the pop-up CLS commands will bounce) - again assuming the SB is entirely inside the softbox.
- indoors, or outdoors in shade (too much ambient light makes CLS work less well)
- range from pop-up to subject to softbox is limited.
To understand the range limitations, try it and see how far you can get the camera and/or softbox away from the subject.
