„ Flash units designed for use with the camera
Choose a flash 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 flash modes, including
4
TTL auto and super FP. Flash units can be mounted on the camera hot shoe or
connected using a cable (available separately) and flash bracket. The camera also
supports the following wireless flash control systems:
Radio-Controlled Flash Photography: CMD, #CMD, RCV, and X-RCV Modes
The camera controls one or more remote flash units by means of radio signals. The
range of locations in which flash units can be placed increases. Flash units can control
other compatible units or be fitted with radio commander/receivers to allow the use of
units that do not otherwise support radio flash control.
Wireless Remote-Control Flash Photography: RC Mode
The camera controls one or more remote flash units by means of optical signals. The
flash mode can be selected using camera controls (P. 124).
