Wireless flash mode (WL)

Photographs taken with the flash attached to the camera are flat as shown in photo 1. In such cases, remove the flash from the camera and position it to obtain a more three-dimensional effect as shown in photo 2.

When taking this type of photograph with a single lens reflex camera, the camera and the flash unit are most commonly connected by a cable. This flash eliminates the need for a cable to transmit signals to the flash unit by using the light of the built-in flash itself as a signal. The correct exposure is determined automatically by the camera.
