Wireless remote control flash photography
External flash units that are designated for use with this camera and have a remote
control mode can be used for wireless flash photography. See the instruction manuals
provided with the external flash units for details.
1
Set the remote flash units to RC mode and place them as desired.
• Turn each flash unit on, press the MODE button, and select RC mode.
• Select a channel and group for each flash unit.
2
Select [ # RC] for [Remote Flash] in J shooting menu 2 (P. 40).
• The commercially-available slave flash that is synchronized with the camera flash is
used for taking pictures. The flash intensity setting can be adjusted.
• Red-eye reduction is not available in RC mode.
• After confirming that the built-in and remote flash units have charged, take a shot.

Wireless flash control range
Position the wireless flash units with their remote sensors facing the camera. The following
illustration shows the approximate ranges at which the flash units can be positioned. The
actual control range varies with local conditions.
# Cautions
• We recommend using up to 3 remote flash units.
• Remote flash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization longer than 4
seconds.
• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the built-in flash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the built-in flash
by, for example, using a diffuser).
