Recording Using a Wireless Flash
You can use a Flash (DMW-FL580L/DMW-FL360L/DMW-FL200L: optional) to record using a wireless flash.
You can separately control the firing of three flash groups and the flash attached to the hot shoe of the camera.
Placing a Wireless Flash
Place the wireless flash with its wireless sensor facing the camera.
Placement example
When (C) is placed to erase the shadow in the background of the subject that the flash groups (A) and (B) will create
Placement range
When DMW-FL360L is attached
(D) 5.0 m (16 feet)
(E) 7.0 m (23 feet)
The placement range serves as a guide for when recording with the camera held horizontally. The range differs depending on the surrounding environment. We recommend using a maximum of three wireless flashes in each group. If the subject is too close, communication light may affect the exposure. You can reduce the effect by setting [Communication Light] to [LOW] or lowering the output with a diffuser or similar device. ([Communication Light]) |
