Notes
• Although there is no limit to the number of wireless flashes you can use, it is recommended
that each group have no more than three flashes to prevent flash malfunction due to mutual
interference.
• In RC mode, the built-in flash is used to control the wireless flash. The built-in flash cannot be
used for flash shooting in this mode.
• For 2nd curtain synchronization, set the shutter speed and anti-shock settings to within 4
seconds. Wireless flash shooting may not operate properly when using a slower shutter
speed or anti-shock setting.
You cannot use the camera to adjust the amount of light emitted from a commercially
available flash except for a flash specified for use with this camera. To use a commercially
available flash, connect it to the hot shoe or connect the synchronization cord to the external
flash connector. Set the camera’s shooting mode to M. For details on non-specified
commercial flashes, see “Non-specified commercial flashes” (
gP. 78).
