Default Wireless of Sigma EF500 DG Super

Hi guys!
anyone knows how the above flash is triggered if used off-camera?
Is it necessary to get a module to trigger it wirelessly ? or is there some other method? (flash to be used for Canon body)

You dun need to get a module to trigger. Set the mode to Slave mode. Then have the SL to be 0. Press the "SEL" button until you find it.

That will basically set it to be a slave flash capable of being trigger by any flash.

All are taken off memory so any mistake pls bear with it.

Flashes can be set depending on the type of photography you want. So this question here is very debatable. anyway, it how you want it in the end.
