FLASH — Wireless/Remote Off-Camera

Normal Flash

Wireless/Remote Flash

Wireless/Remote Flash is available with the Minolta 5400HS, 5400xi, and 3500xi accessory flashes. Wireless/Remote flash lets you experience the creative control available with an accessory flash.

In Wireless/Remote flash mode, the off-camera flash is triggered by a coded signal from the camera’s built-in flash when you press the shutter-release button. When proper exposure has been received, another signal cuts the accessory flash off.

You can also achieve a 2:1 lighting ratio automatically. When remote ratio flash is selected, the off-camera flash provides 2/3 of the full exposure while the built-in flash provides the remaining 1/3.

•Flash and color meters can not be used to meter wireless/remote off-camera flash.

•The shutter speed will be set to 1/60 sec or slower.

•When using 5400HS or Wireless Remote Controller as a controller instead of built-in flash, off-camera flash will not fire if you are pressing depth-of-preview button.
