With a flash that has a wireless shooting function (sold separately), you can
shoot with the flash without a cord, even when the flash is not attached to
the camera. By changing the position of the flash, you can shoot an image
with a three-dimensional feel by highlighting the contrast of light and
shadow on the subject.
For the actual steps of shooting, refer to the operating instructions of the
flash.
Notes
• Turn off the wireless flash mode after wireless flash shooting. If the built-in flash is
used while the wireless flash mode is still active, inaccurate flash exposures will
result.
• Change the external flash channel when another photographer is using a wireless
flash nearby and his/her flash light causes your external flash to fire. To change the
external flash channel, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the flash.
Setup of the AEL button
When using a wireless flash, we recommend that you set [Func. of AEL
button] to [AEL hold] in the
Custom menu (page 161).
