Does the R6 Mark II have an in-body flash transmitter?

Hi, I am considering this camera and saw that the manual shows that there is a wireless function where you can use radio or optical wireless transmission to shoot with wireless flash lighting.  Can anyone confirm if this is referring to an in-body transmitter that can be set to a channel and control an off camera speedlite?

Thanks!

I have the R6MKII and I searched through the settings and couldn't find a function that will trigger my 580EXII/EX. Only except if I use my ST-E2 as a master.

You probably read the part of the manual where you set Flash functions. That implies setting functions in the flash you mounted on the hot-shoe, not anything in the camera itself.
So no, what you're asking for is a feature of a flash or flash transmitter (like the ST-E10) mounted on the camera.

Cool, I know the Lumix GH6 has an internal transmitter, so i was wondering.  Thanks for the clarification!
