Performing wireless flash shooting

With an external wireless flash (not supplied), 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

subject.
For the actual steps of shooting, refer to the operating instructions of the
