Optional Accessories

Designated External Flash Units

When using an optional

fl

ash unit designed for use with the camera, you can choose

the

fl

ash mode using camera controls and take pictures with the

fl

ash. See the

documentation provided with the

fl

ash unit for information on

fl

ash features and their

use.
Choose a

fl

ash 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

fl

ash 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

fl

ash bracket. The camera also

supports the following wireless

fl

ash control systems:

Radio-Controlled Flash Photography: CMD,

#

CMD, RCV, and X-RCV Modes

The camera controls one or more remote

fl

ash units by means of radio signals. The

range of locations in which

fl

ash units can be placed increases. Flash units can control

other compatible units or be

fi

tted with radio commander/receivers to allow the use of

units that do not otherwise support radio

fl

ash control.

Wireless Remote-Control Flash Photography: RC Mode

The camera controls one or more remote

fl

ash units by means of optical signals. The

fl

ash mode can be selected using camera controls (P. 105).
