lock button, press the shutter-
release button all the way
down to take the picture.

aperture is set (A-mode), the shutter speed
may not be reduced.
• Use a tripod if the shutter speed becomes
too slow to allow sharp, hand-held pictures
after you press the spot/AE lock button.

displayed in the viewfinder.
Wireless/Remote Flash is
available with the Minolta
5400HS, 5400xi, and 3500xi
accessory flashes.
Wireless/Remote flash lets you
experience the creative control
available with an accessory
flash.
In Wireless/Remote flash mode,
the off-camera flash is triggered
by a coded signal from the
camera’s built-in flash when
you press the shutter-release
button. When proper exposure
has been received, another
signal cuts the accessory flash
off.
You can also achieve a 2:1
lighting ratio automatically.
When remote ratio flash is
selected, the off-camera flash
provides 2/3 of the full
exposure while the built-in flash
provides the remaining 1/3.
