Using the

Flash

Wireless Shooting Using a Combination of External Flash Units

1 Set the wireless mode of the external flash directly connected to the camera to [MASTER] or [CONTROL].

MASTER

Discharge both the flash directly connected to the

camera and the wireless flash unit as the main flash.

 

 

 

CONTROL

Discharges the flash directly connected to the camera as

a control flash only, not as the main flash.

 

2 On the wireless remote flash unit, set the wireless flash mode to [SLAVE] and set the channel to the same channel as the flash directly connected to the camera. Then, place it at the desired location.

3 Confirm that both flashes are fully charged, and then take a picture.

• The Shake Reduction function is not available.

When using multiple AF540FGZ/AF360FGZ external flashes and shooting with the high-speed sync flash in wireless mode, set the flash directly connected to the camera to high-speed sync flash mode.

Connecting an External Flash with an Extension Cord

When using an external flash away from the camera, attach the Hot Shoe Adapter FG (1; optional) to the camera hot shoe and an Off-Camera Shoe Adapter F (2; optional) to the bottom of the external flash, and then connect these with the Extension Cord F5P (3; optional). The Off- Camera Shoe Adapter F can be mounted to your tripod using the tripod screw.
