Wireless remote control flash photography
External flash units that offer a remote control mode and are designated for use
with this camera can be used for wireless flash photography. The camera can
independently control a flash mounted on the camera and remote flash units in up to 3
groups. See the documentation provided with the external flash units for details.

Turn each flash unit on, press the MODE button, and select RC mode.
Select a channel and group for each flash unit.

The super control panel switches to RC mode.
You can choose a super control panel display by repeatedly pressing the INFO
button.

# Cautions
We recommend using a single group of up to three remote flash units.
Remote flash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the camera flash
may affect exposure (The effect can be moderated by reducing the output of the camera
flash using a diffuser or other similar techniques).
