WIRELESS/REMOTE OFF-CAMERA FRASH

The separately available 5400HS or 5400xi programm flash units are necessary for Wireless/Remote off-camera flash photography.

A flat, lifeless photograph may result when the flash is attached to the camera. In such cases, remove the flash from the camera and reposition it to provide shadows to provide a three-dimensional feel to the photograph (see Photo 2).

Photo 3 was taken using two programm flash units distant from the camera and providing flash illumination in a ratio of 2:1. This has resulted in gentle transitions from light to dark, with natural shadows.

The camera and flash must normally be connected by cable in such cases. This camera permits transmission of signals to flash units using light from the flash rather than cables. The camera automatically determines the optimum exposure.
