How to use the hot shoe
Since the camera has a hot shoe, you can connect an external flash
(available in stores) for use.
Adjust the exposure using the exposure compensation (P.78) or
manual exposure function (P.87).
For details, see the documentation that came with the external flash.
To attach an external flash to the hot shoe, follow the steps below.
1.
With the camera and external flash powers off, attach the
external flash to the hot shoe.
2.
Turn the camera power on and the Mode Dial to A/M for
Aperture Priority Mode (P.87).
3.
Set the ISO sensitivity of the camera to other than AUTO.
4.
Turn the external flash on, set the flash to Auto, and adjust
the f-number and ISO sensitivity of the flash to those of the
camera.
When removing the external flash from the camera, first turn the external
flash off.
