Taking Pictures with Wireless Flashes
By using flashes that support wireless recording (DMW-FL360L/DMW-FL580L: optional),
you can separately control the firing of three flash groups and the flash attached to the hot
shoe of the camera.
Applicable modes:
∫ Placing wireless flashes
Place the wireless flash with its wireless sensor facing toward the camera.
The following figure shows the estimated controllable range when you take pictures by
holding the camera horizontally. Controllable range differs depending on the surrounding
environment.
Placement range [when a flash
(DMW-FL360L: optional) is attached]
Placement example
•
In this placement example, flash C is placed to erase the shadow of the subject that flashes A
and B will create.
• The recommended number of wireless flashes for each group is three or less.
• If the subject is too close, signal flashing may affect the exposure.
If you set [Communication Light] to [LOW] or lower the output with a diffuser or similar product,
the effect will be reduced.
