Flash shooting

In addition to the camera’s built-in flash capabilities, you can use any of the external flash

units specified for use with this camera. This enables you to take advantage of a wider variety

of flash shooting techniques to suit different shooting conditions.

The external flashes communicate with the camera, allowing you to control the camera’s

flash modes with various available flash control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP

flash. An external flash unit specified for use with this camera can be mounted on the camera

by attaching it to the camera’s hot shoe.

Refer to the external flash’s manual as well.
