Optical Transmission Wireless Flash Shooting

This chapter describes how to use strobe shooting using the optical transmission wireless sender / receiver function.

Sender / receiver functions can be used with Speedlites compatible with optical transmission wireless flash shooting.

Caution

  • Operations described in this chapter are not available when the camera is in Full Auto or Basic Zone modes. Set the camera's shooting mode to Flexible-priority AE, Program AE, Shutter-priority AE, Aperture-priority AE, Manual exposure, or Bulb (Bulb) (Creative Zone).

Note

  • The instructions assume you are using the EL-1 (Ver.2) for both the sender flash and the receiver flash.
  • The EL-1 (Ver.2) attached to the camera is referred to as a “sender,” and other Speedlites controlled wirelessly are referred to as “receivers.”
