WIRELESS / REMOTE FLASH
Wireless/Remote flash allows the camera to control
an off-camera Program/Maxxum 5600HS(D) and
3600HS(D) flash unit without the need of a cable.
Single or multiple flash units can be placed around
the subject to create different lighting effects.
The camera’s built-in flash fires to control the off-
camera flash units rather than to illuminate the
subject.
