• In sequential shooting, when the shutter button is
pressed, the camera shoots 3 frames at a time in the
following order: frame with optimum amount of light
emission, frame adjusted in – direction and frame
adjusted in + direction. In single-frame shooting, the
amount of light emitted by the flash changes every time the shutter button is pressed.
External electronic flashes (optional)
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. The flash can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the camera’s hot shoe.
Refer to the external flash’s manual as well.
