Flash shooting

Various shooting functions

Non-specified commercial flashes

Before selecting a non-specified commercial flash, be sure to read the

following information carefully to determine whether or not it can be used with

this camera.

1) Exposures when using a flash require that adjustments be made on the

flash. If a flash is used in the auto mode, match it with the f value and ISO

sensitivity settings on the camera.

2) Even if the flash auto f value and ISO sensitivity are set the same as on

the camera, the correct exposure may not be obtained depending on the

shooting conditions. In such a case, adjust the auto F value or ISO on the

flash or calculate the distance in the manual mode.

3) Use a flash with an illumination angle that matches the focal length of the

lens. The focal length of the lens for 35 mm film is approximately twice as

long as the focal length of the lenses designed for this camera.

4) Do not use a flash unit or other accessory TTL flash that has additional

communications functions other than the specified flashes, since it may

not only fail to function normally, but may also cause damage to the

camera’s circuitry.

Notes

• The flash fires each time the shutter is released. When you do not need to use the

flash, turn off the flash’s power.

• Check beforehand that the flash you are using is synchrorized with the camera.

• Depending on the camera's shooting mode, the built-in flash may pop up

automatically and strike the external flash.

• You can prevent the flash from automatically popping up by setting the auto flash

pop up function to Off. g "Auto flash popup" (P. 126)
