Using the external electronic flash
Be sure to attach the flash to the camera before turning on the flash’s power.
1
Remove the hot shoe cover by sliding it in
the direction indicated by the arrow in the
illustration.
• Keep the shoe cover in a safe place to avoid
losing it, and put it back on the camera after
flash shooting.
2
Attach the electronic flash to the hot shoe
on the camera.
• If the lock pin is protruding, turn the shoe lock
ring as far as it will go in the direction opposite
to LOCK. This will pull the lock pin back inside.
3
Turn on the flash.
• When the charge lamp on the flash lights up, charging
is complete.
• The flash will be synchronized with the camera at a
speed of 1/180 sec. or less.

Select a flash mode.
5
Select the flash control mode.
• TTL-AUTO is recommended for normal use.

value, and shutter speed is communicated between the
camera and flash.

Notes
• The built-in flash cannot be used when an external flash is attached to the hot shoe.
