Using the wide panel

Use the built-in wide panel in flash shooting when the lens focal length
is set to a position wider than 12 mm.

When the lens focal length is shorter

than 12 mm (24 mm with the 135 type),
the wide panel warning indicator blinks
in the control panel.

This does not occur if the camera is not

equipped with communication capability.

Slide out the wide panel and place it on

the light-emitting area.

The wide panel indicator lights up in the

control panel.

Press the ZOOM button to adjust the

firing angle.

The firing angle can be selected from 8 mm

and 10 mm (16 mm and 20 mm with the
135 type).

When the wide panel is used, the guide

number will be lower, and the available
shooting range or the optimum shooting
distance will be shortened.

Notes

To prevent damage to the wide panel, do not

flip it in the upward direction.

If the wide panel is damaged when it is

slid out, the ZOOM button will no longer be
operable. If that happens, disable the wide
panel switch to restore operability.
