The Olympus FL-700WR Flashgun can be controlled wirelessly when used together with cameras compatible with the Olympus wireless RC flash system. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to control the flashgun wirelessly:

1. Make sure your camera is compatible with the Olympus wireless RC flash system.

2. Set the flashgun to the desired wireless flash mode. The available modes are TTL, Manual, FP TTL, FP Manual, and Off Radio control.

3. If you want to use the flashgun as a commander, set the flashgun to the "Commander" mode. This allows you to control other compatible flash units wirelessly.

4. If you want to use the flashgun as a receiver, set the flashgun to the "RCV" or "X-RCV" mode. This allows the flashgun to be controlled wirelessly by a commander unit.

5. Set the desired channel on both the commander unit and the flashgun. The flashgun supports 15 channels in the commander mode, with an automatic channel setting function.

6. Set the desired group on both the commander unit and the flashgun. The flashgun supports up to 3 groups in the commander mode, with an unlimited number of units.

7. Ensure that the maximum range between the commander unit and the flashgun does not exceed 30 meters (98.4 inches).

8. If you prefer optical control, set the flashgun to the "RC" or "SL MANUAL" mode. This allows the flashgun to be controlled optically by another flash unit.
