Using external ash units designated for use with this camera
With this camera, you can use one of the separately sold external ash units to
achieve a ash suited to your needs. The external ashes communicate with the
camera, allowing you to control the camera’s ash modes with various available ash
control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP ash. An external ash unit speci ed
for use with this camera can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the camera’s
hot shoe. You can also attach the ash to the ash bracket on the camera using the
bracket cable (optional). Refer to the documentation provided with the external ash
units as well.
The upper limit of the shutter speed is 1/200 sec. when using a ash.
