Wireless/Remote flash allows the camera to control an off- camera Minolta 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D) flash unit without the need of a cable. Single or multiple flash units can be placed around the subject to create different lighting effects.

The camera’s built-in flash fires to control the off-camera flash units rather than to illuminate the subject. See your local camera dealer about Minolta lighting accessories.

Slide the cap off the accessory shoe (p. 72).

Slide the Minolta 5600HS(D) or 3600HS(D) flash on the accessory shoe until the safety lock engages (1).

Turn on the camera and flash unit.

Set the camera to the wireless flash mode in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p. 80). This will simultaneously set the flash to the wireless mode and set the camera to the flash’s wireless channel.
