Using the Optional Remote Control
To avoid underexposed images when using the remote
control with wireless/remote off-camera flash, keep the
remote control at least one meter away from, and do not point
the remote control at, the off-camera flash.
2. When the built-in flash is
charged, will glow in
the viewfinder. When the
off-camera flash is
charged, its AF
illuminator will blink.
3. Press the spot/AEL button
to test fire the accessory
flash, and wait again for
both flashes to charge.
4. Press the shutter-release
button all-the-way down
to take the picture.
