External fl ash units designated for use with this camera
With this camera, you can use one of the separately sold external fl ash units to

control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP fl ash. An external fl ash unit speci fi 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
fl ash to the fl ash bracket on the camera using the
bracket cable (optional). Refer to the documentation provided with the external fl ash
units as well.
The upper limit of the shutter speed is 1/200 sec. when using a
