OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Using an External Flash

Use of a commercially available flash unit makes it possible
to obtain a higher level of brightness (guide number) than
you get when using the built-in flash alone. An external
flash also makes it possible to extend the effective range of
flash photography.

• The guide number of the internal flash is 8 (ISO 100/m).

External Flash Unit Requirements

Any external flash unit you use with this camera must
satisfy the following requirements.

• Variable flash intensity (AUTO)
• Flash Duration: Less than 1/1000 sec.
• Coverage Angle: Coverage of 33mm equivalent 35mm

focal length lens (without wide conversion lens)

IMPORTANT!

• Some flash performance may be lost when using a

ring flash or other type of unit with a long flash time.

• The aperture value and ISO sensitivity available with

some flash units may not match the values
supported by your camera. In such a case, make
adjustments in the aperture setting of the external
flash and the camera until proper brightness is
achieved.
