Complete bounce and swivel functionality is available

Also, the SB-700 has three different illumination patterns, standard, even, and center-weighted, which help shape the light output for your specific needs.

In this mode users can access Advanced Wireless Lighting settings for controlling multiple off-camera flashes that can be set up in two groups (A, B) and one of four channels. The SB-700 also has a quick wireless control A:B ratio setting for quickly setting up and controlling multiple remote flashes.
