Taking Pictures with Wireless Flashes

Recording mode:
When you use the flashes (DMW-FL200L, DMW-FL360L, DMW-FL580L: optional) with
the wireless flash recording function, you can separately control the firing of the flashes in
three groups and the flash attached to the hot shoe of the camera.
• The built-in flash does not support wireless flash control.

Flash controllable range
Position the wireless flash with its wireless sensor facing the camera. The following
illustration is an example of the range within which the flash can be positioned. The
flash controllable range varies depending on the surrounding environment.

• This flash positioning example shows a case where flash unit C is positioned in order
to eliminate the shadows from the subject's background, which is produced by flash
unit A and flash unit B of the flash group.
• For the number of wireless flashes to be controlled, we recommend setting up to three
flash units in each group.
• When a subject is too close, the communication light emission may affect the
exposure of the picture. This problem can be mitigated if you decrease the flash
output by setting [Communication Light] to [LOW] or using a flash diffuser or similar
device.
