That's a pretty broad question, so it's not entirely clear what you're
asking; is it because there's no PC jack on the camera? If that's what
you're asking about, you can either use a hotshoe adapter that provides
a PC jack (which are dirt cheap), or a radio slave unit (more expensive,
but cooler). If the power pack has an optical slave, you could also
put the built-in flash in manual mode and trigger it that way, possibly
reducing the output so it doesn't contribute much to the exposure.

Fastest/Cheapest:

1. Set camera to manual. Set flash to manual.
2. Tape a business card in front of the built-in-flash so it reflects
the flash away from the scene. (eg: upward if there's a ceiling).
3. Wein slave to the pak.

Cheers,
Alan.
