After shooting preparations are
completed, take some test shots to
check the flash operation and images.

Begin shooting while checking the charging completed indications
of the camera and the electronic flash.
The charge condition of the electronic flash is not communicated to the
camera. Shoot the picture only after checking that the CHARGE lamp at
the back of the electronic flash is on, or that the AF illuminator part at the
front of the electronic flash is blinking.
When the camera’s flash intensity control mode is set, the actual flash light
intensity will be the total of the flash intensity value set on the electronic
flash and that set on the camera.

Notes
The firing angle of the flash cannot be controlled automatically so be sure
to check it beforehand. Pressing the ZOOM button on the electronic flash
once will display the firing angle for about 2 seconds. You can change the
firing angle by pressing ZOOM button again while the current firing angle
is displayed. Verify whether the firing angle setting is appropriate or not by
performing a test shot.
When shooting using 2nd curtain synchronization, set the shutter speed
up to 4 seconds since the flash will be emitted automatically after about 5
seconds.
In RC mode the built-in flash of the camera is used to send the remote
control signal and therefore cannot be used as a flash.
