Wireless remote control ash photography
External ash units that offer a remote control mode and are designated for use
with this camera can be used for wireless ash photography. The built-in ash
can independently control up to three groups of remote ash units. See the
documentation provided with the external ash units for details.

# Caution
The built-in ash can not be used as a light source in RC mode.
We recommend using a single group of up to three remote ash units.
Remote ash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-
shock exposures longer than 4 seconds.
If the subject is too close to the camera, the control ashes emitted by the built-in
ash may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the
built-in ash by, for example, using a diffuser).
