Taking Pictures in Wireless/Remote Flash Mode

1. Position your camera and 3500xi flash unit using the

information on this page. If you are using a flash
unit other than the 3500xi off camera, refer to the
instruction manual for that flash to determine the
aperture, camera to subject distance, and the flash
to subject distance.

• The off-camera flash may not detect the control signals if it is

placed behind the subject.
