Using a non-dedicated flash unit

1

An external flash can be attached
to the camera at the hot shoe or at
the flash synchro socket.

2

Set the mode dial to

M

(Manual

mode).

Select the shutter speed and aperture
value. Selecting a slow shutter speed
increases the possibility of camera shake.

3

On the flash unit select AUTO, and
then set the same aperture and ISO
settings selected on the camera.

For some shots you may not be able to
achieve the correct exposure. If this
occurs, then you can experiment with
different aperture and ISO settings on the
external flash unit. (In this situation, the
flash control mode setting on the camera
is disabled.)
