Wireless remote control fl ash photography
External fl ash units that are designated for use with this camera and have a remote
control mode can be used for wireless fl ash photography. The camera can separately
control each of three groups of remote fl ash units, and the internal fl ash. See the
instruction manuals provided with the external fl ash units for details.
1 Set the remote fl ash units to RC mode and place them as desired.
• Turn the external fl ash units on, press the MODE button, and select RC mode.
• Select a channel and group for each external fl ash unit.
2 Select [On] for [
# RC Mode] in X Shooting Menu 2 (P. 86).
• The LV super control panel switches to RC mode.
• You can choose an LV super control panel display by repeatedly pressing the
INFO
button.
• Select a fl ash mode (note that red-eye reduction is not available in RC mode).
3 Adjust the settings for each group in the LV super control panel.

• After confi rming that the built-in and remote fl ash units have charged, take a test
shot.
  Wireless fl ash control range
Position the wireless fl ash units with their remote sensors facing the camera. The following
illustration shows the approximate ranges at which the fl ash units can be positioned. The
actual control range varies with local conditions.
• We recommend using a single group of up to
three remote fl ash units.
• Remote fl ash units cannot be used for
second curtain slow synchronization or anti-
shock exposures longer than 4 seconds.
• If the subject is too close to the camera,
the control fl ashes emitted by the camera
fl ash may affect exposure (this effect can be
reduced by reducing the output of the camera
fl ash by, for example, using a diffuser).
• The upper limit of fl ash synchronization
timing is 1/250 sec. when using the fl ash in
RC mode.
