Wireless flash mode (WL)
Photographs taken with the flash unit attached to the camera are flat as shown in
photo 1. In such cases, remove the flash unit from the camera and position it to
obtain a more three-dimensional effect as shown in photo 2. And by using 2 or
more flash units, you can create more detailed light conditions as shown in photo
3
.
When taking this type of photograph with a single lens reflex camera, the camera
and the flash unit are most commonly connected by a cable. This flash eliminates
the need for a cable to transmit signals to the flash unit by using the light of the
flash itself as a signal. The correct exposure is determined automatically by the
camera.
