Other Flash Units
Use only flash units with one signal terminal, which must
be an X-contact with a positive voltage of no more than
20 V. Use a flash that covers the angle of view of the lens.
1
Close the flash cover.
2
Attach the flash.
Turn the camera and the optional flash unit off and
attach the flash to the camera hot shoe.
3
Set aperture manually.
Turn the camera on, select mode A or M, and choose
an aperture (pages 38 and 40).
4
Choose a manual ISO sensitivity setting.
Select an option other than Auto or Auto-Hi for ISO
sensitivity (page 82).
5
Turn the flash on.
Turn the flash on and set it to auto mode. Set aper-
ture and ISO sensitivity to the values selected with
the camera. Take a test shot and adjust flash aperture
and ISO settings as necessary.
Caution
• Turn the optional flash unit off before removing it from the cam-
era.
• Do not raise the built-in flash when an optional flash unit is at-
tached to the camera.
• If the external flash is on, it will fire with every shot regardless to
the flash mode selected with the camera. Turn the flash unit off
to shoot without the flash.
• Optional flash units are in principle for use at ranges that exceed
the range of the built-in flash. Using an optional flash unit at
shorter ranges may result in overexposure.
