Compatible Flash Units
Choose a flash unit to suit your needs, taking into consideration such factors as the output
required and whether the unit supports macro photography. Flash units designed to
communicate with the camera support a variety of flash modes, including TTL auto and super
FP. See the documentation provided with the flash unit for information on flash features and
their use. The camera also supports the following wireless flash control systems:
Radio-Controlled Flash Photography: CMD,
#
CMD, RCV, and X-RCV Modes
The camera controls one or more remote flash units by means of radio signals. The
range of locations in which flash units can be placed increases. Flash units can control
other compatible units or be fitted with radio commander/receivers to allow the use of
units that do not otherwise support radio flash control.
Wireless Remote-Control Flash Photography: RC Mode
The camera controls one or more remote flash units by means of optical signals.
The flash mode can be selected using camera controls (P. 84).
