It is impossible to describe all camera types and their individual dedicated
flash functions within the scope of these instructions. Therefore, please refer
to the flash mode description in your camera’s operating instructions to find
out which functions are supported and which ones have to be set manually
on the camera. Using lenses not equipped with a CPU (i.e., lenses without
auto focus mode), results in certain functional limitations. ☞
