WIRELESS / REMOTE FLASH

ADVANCED OPERATION

Photographs taken with a flash attached to the camera are flat as shown in example 1. An accessory flash positioned away from the camera creates three-dimensional lighting as shown in the second example.

Wireless / Remote flash uses the camera’s built-in flash to control flash units placed around the subject. The proper exposure is determined automatically by the camera.

Red-eye reduction cannot be used with wireless/ remote flash. Since the flash unit is positioned to one side, the red-eye effect will not influence the subject.

Only Minolta D series flash units are compatible with this function.

1. Normal flash

2. Wireless flash
