If you use an external flash for close-up shots, the picture may be overex-
posed. Use the built-in flash only.
•
If you use both the built-in flash and the FL-40, the built-in flash is used only
as a supplementary light source. Consequently, if the amount of light from
the FL-40 is insufficient, the picture may turn out underexposed.
•
You can also set the flash mode to Slow Synchro. (P.129)
