Designated External Flash Units

When using an optional flash unit designed for use with the camera, you can choose the flash mode
using camera controls and take pictures with the flash. See the documentation provided with the flash
unit for information on flash features and their use.

Choose a flash unit to suit your needs, taking into consideration such factors as the output required
and whether the unit supports macro photography. Flash units designed to communicate with the
camera support a variety of flash modes, including TTL auto and super FP. Flash units can be mounted
on the camera hot shoe or connected using a cable (available separately) and flash bracket. The
camera also supports the following wireless flash control systems:

Radio-Controlled Flash Photography: CMD,

A

CMD, RCV, and

in which flash units can be placed increases. Flash units can control other compatible units or be fitted
with radio commander/receivers to allow the use of units that do not otherwise support radio flash
control.

Wireless Remote-Control Flash Photography: RC Mode

The camera controls one or more remote flash units by means of optical signals. The flash mode can
be selected using camera controls (
