Wireless flash mode (WL)
Photographs taken with the flash attached to the camera are flat as shown
in photo 1. In such cases, remove the flash from the camera and position
it to obtain a more three-dimensional effect as shown in photo 2.
When taking this type of photograph with a single lens reflex camera, the
camera and the flash unit are most commonly connected by a cable. This
flash eliminates the need for a cable to transmit signals to the flash unit by
using the light of the built-in flash itself as a signal. The correct exposure is
determined automatically by the camera.
