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.
4
Select a flash mode.
5
Select the flash control mode.
• TTL-AUTO is recommended for normal use.
6
Press the shutter button halfway.
• Shooting information such as ISO sensitivity, aperture value, and shutter speed is
communicated between the camera and flash.
7
Press the shutter button all the way.
Super FP flash
Super FP flash is available with the FL-50 or FL-36. Use the Super
FP flash where normal flashes cannot be used with high shutter
speed. Fill-in flash shooting with the aperture open (such as in
outdoor portrait shooting) is also possible with Super FP flash. For
details, refer to the external flash’s manual.
