Using the shooting function
91
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
• The camera cannot carry out the wireless lighting ratio control.
• 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 channel of the external flash when another photographer is using a
wireless flash nearby and his/her built-in flash light causes your external flash to fire.
To change the channel of the external flash, refer to the operating instructions
supplied with it.
Setup of the AEL button
When using a wireless flash, it is recommended that you set [AEL button]
to [AEL hold] in the Custom menu (page 133).
