Raise the built-in flash on the camera and position the camera and flash around the subject. See the following page for operating ranges.

Make sure no objects come between the camera and flash unit. The flash units can be test fired by pressing the AEL button on the camera. AEL button setup in section 1 of the custom menu should be set to one of the hold options. If the flash does not fire, change the camera, flash, or subject position. The slow shutter sync is active in auto recording, P, A, and digital subject program exposure modes (p. 47).

When the 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D) flash is charged, the AF illuminator on the front of the unit blinks. The viewfinder flash signal shows the status of the camera flash (p. 31). Take a picture as described in the basic recording section on page 28.

Wireless/Remote flash performs best under subdued light or interior lighting. Under bright light sources, the flash may not be able to detect the control signals from the camera’s built-in flash.

When not using off-camera flash units, always turn off the wireless flash mode in section 2 of the recording menu, or inaccurate flash exposures will result. The 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D) flash units can be reset simultaneously with the camera. Simply mount the flash unit in the accessory shoe and change the wireless flash mode setting on the menu to another flash mode.

High-speed sync. is available, see page 112. The Wireless/Remote Flash Controller is not compatible with this camera.
