Notes
Flash Photography: Using a Speedlight
In shutter-priority auto and manual exposure modes, shutter speed can be set to a
value between
1 /
500
sec. and thirty seconds. If speed faster than 1 /
500
sec. is chosen,
the camera will automatically lower shutter speed to 1 /
500
sec.
When using slow sync or slow sync with red-eye reduction, set the exposure mode to
programmed auto or aperture-priority auto.
If the flash-ready indicator blinks for about three seconds after a photograph is taken
with a flash set to TTL or external automatic mode, the photograph may be underex-
posed. Check the photograph in the LCD monitor. If it is underexposed, adjust the
focus distance, aperture, or flash range and try again.
Read all instructions in the Speedlight manual thoroughly.
