Notes
• Select the manual exposure mode and set the shutter speed to 1/250 second. If the
shutter speed recommended on the flash is slower than that, use the recommended
speed or an even slower speed.

Display] setting so that the image is always displayed with the appropriate
brightness (page 89).
• Use a flash with a flash sync voltage of 400 V or less.
• Before you connect the flash sync cord to the (flash sync) terminal, turn off the
power of the connected flash. If the power is on, it may flash when you connect the
cord.
• The flash will always be full emission. Flash compensation (page 120) cannot be
used.
• Using auto white balance is not recommended. Use custom white balance to gain
more precise white balance.
• The flash indicator is not displayed when the (flash sync) terminal is plugged in.
