Pentax ZX-5N - Manual (Page 81)

(11) USING A PENTAX DEDICATED EXTERNAL FLASH
If the built-in flash is not powerful enough, a Pentax
dedicated external flash should be used.
An external TTL Auto Flash like the PENTAX AF FTZ or
AF FT series flash units (ie: AF500FTZ, AF330FTZ ,
AF220T or the AF240FT) incorporate the TTL Flash
Mode.
1. Remove the hot shoe cover FC and attach a Pentax
dedicated flash unit.
2. Turn ON the flash.
3. Set the flash unit to the TTL Auto Mode.
4. Ensure that the flash is fully charged.
5. Proceed as if the built-in flash were being used. •
• When the flash is fully charged, the ready lamp on the
flash unit lights up. When the shutter release button
is depressed halfway down, [^] appears in the view­
finder indicating the flash is ready.
• Using the dedicated flash in each exposure mode is
the same as using the built -in flash, see page 72.
