Remote Flash Photography
The camera can be used with one or more remote flash units
(Advanced Wireless Lighting, or AWL). For information on using
a flash unit mounted on the camera accessory shoe, see “On-
Camera Flash Photography” (0 347).
Remote flash units can be controlled via optical signals from a
flash unit mounted on the camera accessory shoe (optical AWL)
or via radio signals from a WR-R10 (available separately)
connected to the camera (radio AWL). These forms of flash
control can be combined as follows:
• Radio AWL with one or more remote flash
units (0 362)
• Optical AWL with one or more remote flash
units (0 373)
• Radio AWL with additional lighting
provided by a shoe-mounted flash unit
(0 372)
Throughout this chapter, operations involving an accessory connected
to the camera are indicated by C, operations involving remote flash
units by f. For more information on f, see the manual provided with
