Sync Speed
The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units
at 1/200 sec. and slower speeds. With large studio flash units, the
flash duration is longer than that of a compact flash unit and varies
depending on the model. Be sure to check before shooting if flash
sync is properly performed by test shooting at a sync speed of
approx. 1/60 sec. to 1/30 sec.
o
If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to
another camera brand, the camera not only may not operate properly,
but malfunction may result.
o
Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit to the camera’s hot shoe. It may
not be fired.
Flash photography using the PC terminal is possible with Battery Grip BG-
E22 (sold separately).
