Raise the built-in flash on the camera and position the
camera and flash around the subject. See the following
page for operating ranges.
Make sure no objects come between the camera and flash unit. The flash units can be
test fired by pressing the AEL button on the camera. AEL button setup in section 1 of the
custom menu should be set to one of the hold options. If the flash does not fire, change
the camera, flash, or subject position. The slow shutter sync is active in P and A exposure
modes (p. 47).
When the 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D) flash is charged, the AF illuminator on the front of
the unit blinks. The viewfinder flash signal shows the status of the camera flash (p. 31).
Take a picture as described in the basic recording section on page 28.
Wireless/Remote flash performs best under subdued light or interior lighting. Under bright
light sources, the flash may not be able to detect the control signals from the camera’s
built-in flash.
When not using off-camera flash units, always turn off the wireless flash mode in section
1 of the recording menu, or inaccurate flash exposures will result. The 5600HS(D) and
3600HS(D) flash units can be reset simultaneously with the camera. Simply mount the
flash unit in the accessory shoe and change the wireless flash mode setting on the menu
to another flash mode.
High-speed sync. is available, see page 118. The Wireless/Remote Flash Controller is
not compatible with this camera.
