Metz 58AF-2 flash-remote options?

I have used this flash only on camera. I am wondering what, if anything, is built in that would allow me to trigger this flash by using the built in flash in my camera (OMD 10 ii)?

I stopped in to my local camera store and received a blank look.

It's multilanguage so it's a pain to find the English section. Basically put the Metz on slave mode then the built in flash will trigger it.

Here is a link to the Metz website with detailed information about you 58AF-2 Speedlight. The site also has information about their off-camera triggering accessories and the compatibility of their units with various camera brands and models. This link will take you to the home page where you can click on LIGHTING, then select you model and go on from there.
