• When an external flash is mounted, the weight prevents the lens portion from becoming steady. We
recommend supporting the lens portion with your left hand or using a tripod for recording.
• You cannot have an external flash and the built-in flash strobe at the same time.
• If you shoot with two or more external flashes connected to the advanced accessory shoe, note that the
camera may not be able to function properly, or that may cause a malfunction.
• When the proper white balance is not set using an external flash, set the flash mode to (Forced flash),
(Forced flash with red-eye reduction), (Slow synchro) or (Slow synchro with red-eye
reduction), then set the white balance using the (One push SET) (page 55).
