Most of today's DSLRs offer wireless off-camera flash with TTL exposure control when used with appropriate dedicated flash units. Studio flash units don't offer automatic exposure control, and exposure is generally determined via a flash meter.

This eliminates cords running from camera to power supply or monolight units, and is the preferred way of working with studio flash today.
