[3] Wireless flash photography with
the lighting ratio control

You can take a photo with wireless flash while controlling the lighting ratio of the
controller and 2 groups of off-camera flash units (RMT, RMT2).

• Any combination of HVL-F58AM/HVL-F42AM/HVL-F56AM/HVL-F36AM can be

used in a group with [RMT]. For [RMT2], only HVL-F58AM that is set to [CTRL1]
can be used in a group.

• When using HVL-F56AM/HVL-F36AM as off-camera flash, set the controller mode

to [CTRL2]. In [CTRL2] mode, you can control the lighting ratio of only 2 groups. For
details on setting the controller mode, see [C03] in “Custom setting” (page 74).

• The whole power level ratio is displayed using the flash-range/multiple-flash

frequency/flash-ratio display on the LCD panel for the wireless flash photography with
the lighting ratio control.
e.g.)
When a display is [4:2:1], the flash of each group fires with power level of 4/7, 2/7 and
1/7 of the whole.

Set the camera, flash (controller), and flash (off-camera

flash) to wireless flash.
