Remote Flash Photography
Use remotely controlled flash units for off-
camera lighting (Advanced Wireless Lighting,
or AWL;
0 331). The camera supports two
types of remote flash control: optical AWL, in
which the master flash controls the remote
flash units using optical signals (low-intensity
flash pulses), and radio AWL, in which the remote flash units are
controlled by means of radio signals emitted by a WR-R10
mounted on the camera. When an SB-5000 or SB-500 flash unit or
a WR-R10 wireless remote controller is mounted on the camera,
the remote flash control mode can be selected using the Flash
control > Wireless flash options item in the camera photo
shooting menu.
