Wireless/Remote Off-Camera Flash Control is available with the Minolta accessory flashes: 5400HS, 5400xi, or 3500xi.
Wireless/Remote flash lets you experiment with creative lighting techniques using off-camera accessory flashes without the usual tangle of accessory cords and connectors.
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. Another signal stops it once the camera’s TTL flash meter detects that proper exposure has been received.
A 2:1 lighting ratio can also be obtained automatically. When selected, the off-camera flash provides 2/3 of the full exposure and the built-in flash provides the remaining 1/3.
Setting Wireless /Remote Flash Mode
1. Attach the accessory flash (5400HS, 5400xi, or 3500xi) to the camera and turn both the flash and the camera on.
2. Press the red-eye- reduction/wireless-flash button, WL will appear in the data panel.
• The flash is now set for wireless/remote flash operation.
3. Remove the accessory flash.
4. Press the camera’s flash- mode button to raise the built-in flash. The accessory flash is now ready to be positioned.
