With an external wireless flash (sold separately), you can shoot with the 
flash without a cord when the external flash is not attached to the camera. 
By changing the position of the flash, you can shoot an image with a three 
dimensional feel by highlighting the contrast of light and shadow on the 
subject.
For the actual steps of shooting, refer to the operating instructions of the 
flash.
Notes
• The camera cannot perform a pre-flash test of the wireless flash. Confirm that the 
flash fires properly by releasing the shutter.
• The camera cannot carry out the wireless lighting ratio control.
• Turn off the wireless flash mode after wireless flash shooting. If the built-in flash is 
used while the wireless flash mode is still active, inaccurate flash exposures will 
result.
• Change the channel of the external flash when another photographer is using a 
wireless flash nearby and his/her built-in flash light causes your external flash to fire. 
To change the channel of the external flash, refer to the operating instructions 
supplied with it.
