' Radio Transmission Wireless Flash Shooting

Shooting in a Different Flash Mode Set for Each Group

(p.63)

Wireless shooting using radio transmission has advantages over wireless

shooting using optical transmission, such as being less affected by

obstacles, and not having to point the slave unit’s wireless sensor toward

the master unit. The main functional differences are as follows.

*1-3: Some restrictions apply depending on the camera used.

(See p.49 and 63 for *1, p.65 for *2, and p.66 for *3.)
