Wireless flash shooting
There are two ways to use the wireless flash. One way uses a light signal and the other uses a radio signal to
communicate with the flash. The flash attached to the camera must be the controller in light signal flash shooting and a
Wireless Radio Commander (sold separately) is required for radio signal wireless flash shooting. For details on how to
set each method, refer to the instruction manual of the flash or the Wireless Radio Commander.
Setting of the AEL button
We recommend that you set MENU →
(Camera Settings2) → [Custom Key(Shoot.)] → [AEL Button] to [AEL hold]
when performing wireless flash shooting.
Note
The off-camera flash may emit light after receiving a light signal from a flash used as the controller of another camera. If this
occurs, change the channel of your flash. For details on how to change the channel, refer to the instruction manual for the flash.
Two flashes (a controller and an off-camera flash) are required for light signal wireless flash shooting.
HVL-F20M can only be used as the controller.
