Using optional accessories
External flash
Various types of flash shooting are possible with the FL-40 external flash,
which can be used either by itself or together with the main flash.
If the FL-40 is used, flash mode and exposure compensation will be detected
automatically by the camera, allowing the main flash and external flash to
function together.
Using the two flashes together allows for more sophisticated lighting, such as
catch lighting.
To connect the FL-40 to the camera, the exclusive FL-BK01 flash bracket
(optional) and FL-CB01 bracket cable (optional) are required.
1 Mount the FL-40 external flash on the
flash bracket, then fasten it to the
camera’s tripod socket and connect
the flash bracket and the camera’s 5-
pin external flash socket using the
bracket cable.
● Refer to each separate instruction
manual for the external flash, flash
bracket, and flash cable.
● The 5-pin external flash socket cover on
the camera is threaded. Unscrew and
remove it before connecting the bracket
cable.
