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.

Attach the supplied
fl

• After con
fi
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.
