Wireless Mode
In wireless mode (P-TTL), you can take photographs with this
flash unit separated from the camera wirelessly.
Combine the flash unit with the built-in flash unit of the camera,
or another flash unit (AF540FGZ
II
) attached to the camera.
• AF360FGZ
II
can be used interchangeably with this flash unit
for wireless mode photography.
• Before photographing, check that SL1 is set in slave mode of
the function menu. (Refer to page 36, 50).
When using this flash unit in wireless mode, the following
information is transferred between the flash unit attached to the
camera and one separated from the camera, before these flash
units are discharged.
1 The shutter release button is fully pressed.
2 The flash attached to the camera emits a small control flash
(relays the flash mode of the camera).
3 The separated flash unit from the camera emits a pre-flash
(verifies the state of the subject).
4 The flash attached to the camera emits a small control flash
(relays the flash output amount to the separated flash unit).
• The flash attached to the camera will emit a pre-flash
once more after this to relay the flash duration time when
high-speed sync mode is set.
5 The separated flash unit discharges the main flash. (Refer
to page 45 when you want both flash units to discharge
main flashes.)
• “Control flash” and “Main flash”
The purpose of the control flash in wireless mode is to
send information to the other flash unit before taking a
picture. The main flash discharges at the actual time a
picture is taken in the same manner as traditionally done.
• When setting up the flash unit separately from the
camera, use the off-camera shoe adapter F when using a
tripod, or the off-camera shoe clip CL-10 when setting up
in another location such as tabletop, chair, etc.
• Keep the built-in flash unit of the camera or this flash unit,
within approx. 4 meters of the subject.
