The Basics

Using the Built-in
Speedlight

Use the Speedlight under the following conditions:

• Subject is dark

• Shutter speed is slower than 1/60 second

• Subject is backlit

NOTE: To conserve power, close the Speedlight when it is not in use.

1. Press

and rotate the Main-Command dial to set Flash Sync mode

to Front Curtain Sync.

2. Press the Flash Lock-Release button to release the Speedlight.

3. Confirm that an unblinking

symbol appears in the viewfinder

(indicating that the Speedlight is ready), then compose, focus, and
capture the image.

If the

symbol blinks approximately three seconds after flash,

underexposure may have occurred. Check the flash shooting distance
range (see

page 10-5

) and repeat step 3.
