WIRELESS FLASH When using the "Wireless Flash" mode, you can take pictures with a more three-dimensional feeling, or make natural images by using shadowing depending on the flash position. This can be done without any extension cord connecting the camera body and flash.

In the "Wireless Flash" mode, the camera will calculate the correct exposure automatically.

When setting a slave unit at the desired position, you can use the mini-stand provided. This mini-stand has a screw hole for a tripod. Place the slave flash unit at the desired location. Do not place the slave unit within the picture area.
