(Fill-flash) Fires every time the shutter is released.

a flowing light or the trail of a moving subject in a more
realistic way when shooting a moving subject using a slower
shutter speed with the flash.
(Wireless) Rather than attaching a flash on the camera, you can create
more contrast, resulting in a more three-dimensional picture.
Two or more wireless flashes* are required, including an
HVL-F58AM.
