Flash Photography
When using an optional fl ash unit designed for use with the camera, you can
choose the fl ash mode using camera controls and take pictures with the fl ash. See
the documentation provided with the fl ash unit for information on fl ash features and
their use.
Compatible Flash Units
Choose a fl ash unit to suit your needs, taking into consideration such factors
as the output required and whether the unit supports macro photography. Flash
units designed to communicate with the camera support a variety of fl ash modes,
including TTL auto and super FP. Flash units can be mounted on the camera hot
shoe or connected using a cable (available separately) and fl ash bracket. The
camera also supports the following wireless fl ash control systems:
Radio-Controlled Flash Photography: CMD, #CMD, RCV, and X-RCV Modes
The camera controls one or more remote fl ash units by means of radio signals. The
range of locations in which fl ash units can be placed increases. Flash units can
control other compatible units or be fi tted with radio commander/receivers to allow
the use of units that do not otherwise support radio fl ash control.
Wireless Remote-Control Flash Photography: RC Mode
The camera controls one or more remote fl ash units by means of optical signals.
The fl ash mode can be selected using camera controls (P. 254).
