engage the safety catch to remove the flash unit from the
camera.

ject ranges. Make sure no objects come between the cam-
era and flash unit.
Raise the built-in flash on the camera. The wireless flash indicator (WL) will be
displayed in the top left corner of the live image. The number next to it indicates
the channel in use. The flash signal will turn white when the flash is charged.
When the 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D) flash is charged, the AF illuminator on the
front of the unit will blink (2). Take a picture as described in the basic recording
section on page 33.
The flash units can be test fired by pressing the AEL button on the camera. If the
flash does not fire, change the camera, flash, or subject position. The slow-shut-
ter-sync function will be active in P and A exposure modes (p. 87).
