WIRELESS/REMOTE OFF-CAMERA FLASH CONTROL
Wireless/Remote Off-Camera
Flash Control is available with
the Minolta accessory flashes:
5400HS, 5400xi, or 3500xi.
Wireless/Remote flash lets you
experiment with creative lighting
techniques using off-camera
accessory flashes without the
usual tangle of accessory cords
and connectors.
In Wireless/Remote flash mode,
the off-camera flash is triggered
by a coded signal from the
camera’s built-in flash when you
press the shutter-release
button. Another signal stops it
once the camera’s TTL flash
meter detects that proper
exposure has been received.
A 2:1 lighting ratio can also be
obtained automatically. When
selected, the off-camera flash
provides 2/3 of the full exposure
and the built-in flash provides
the remaining 1/3.
