* The maximum flash-to-subject distance when using
Program/Maxxum Flash 3600HS (D) is 3.5m (11.5ft) at ƒ/4.0 and
2.5m (8.2ft) at ƒ/5.6 with ISO 100 film.
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; inaccurate flash exposures will result.
