Using Optional Flash Units
When using non-dedicated flash units
•It is necessary to set the exposure on the flash unit itself when such a unit is used.
When you want to use it in its Auto mode, use one that allows you to set the aperture
value and ISO Sensitivity to match the settings on the camera.
•Set the camera to [Aperture-Priority] or [Manual Exposure] Mode and then set the same
aperture value and ISO Sensitivity on the flash unit. (In [Shutter-Priority] and [Program
AE] modes, the proper exposure cannot be achieved because the camera changes the
aperture value, and the flash unit does not receive this information.)
●
You can set the aperture value, the shutter speed and the ISO Sensitivity on the camera even
when a flash unit is attached.
●
Some commercially available flash units have sync terminals with high-voltage or reversed
polarity. If such units are used, they could cause a malfunction or hinder normal operation of the
camera.
●
If you use flash units dedicated to other camera makes, they may not operate normally or they
may be damaged. Do not use them.
●
Even if an attached flash unit is turned off, the camera may enter the flash mode. When you are
not using the flash unit, detach it.
●
Detach the flash unit when you carry the camera.
●
Be sure to hold both the camera and the flash unit when it is attached to the camera. If you hold
only the flash unit, it could become detached from the camera.
●
If the White Balance is set to [ ] when flash is used, perform fine adjustment of the White
Balance if the recording results are not satisfactory. (→105)
●
If you record at close range with the lens set to a short (Wide) focal length, light from the flash may
be blocked by the lens, darkening the lower part of the picture.
●
Refer to the instructions of the flash unit for further details.
