Designated External Flash Units
When using an optional ash unit designed for use with the camera, you can choose
the ash mode using camera controls and take pictures with the ash. See the
documentation provided with the ash unit for information on ash features and their
use.
Choose a 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 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 ash bracket. The camera also
supports the following wireless ash control systems:
Radio-Controlled Flash Photography: CMD, #CMD, RCV, and X-RCV Modes
The camera controls one or more remote ash units by means of radio signals. The
range of locations in which ash units can be placed increases. Flash units can control
other compatible units or be tted with radio commander/receivers to allow the use of
units that do not otherwise support radio ash control.
Wireless Remote-Control Flash Photography: RC Mode
The camera controls one or more remote ash units by means of optical signals. The
ash mode can be selected using camera controls (P. 298).
