1. Attach the flash unit to the camera Hot Shoe.
2. Set the exposure mode select dial to "A" or "X" position (Fig. 44).
3. Set the f-stop number to the designated lens opening for automatic shooting as indicated on the
flash unit. The flash unit will automatically control the amount of light for subjects within the
distance range for automatic flash photography.
4. Turn the flash unit's power source switch on, and when the flash is fully charged, the Flash
Ready red LED Light in the camera viewfinder will light up, and the Shutter Speed Indicator will
show 1/125 sec. and change automatically to the synchronizing speed.
Press the Shutter Release Button and shoot.
For further details, please refer to the instructions with the flash unit.
Do not use other makes of flash units that have special signal pins (dedication pins) exclusively for their
cameras, as this will result in incorrect exposure and may damage the circuitry of the camera.
If the Shutter Release Button is pressed before the Flash Ready LED Light lights up, the shutter speed
will be the one indicated by the Shutter Speed Indicator. [Mike: this will usually make a half exposed
picture or under exposed picture.]
The flash ready light and automatic shutter speed change will not operate with flash units not
"dedicated" specifically to this camera.
