Red-eye reduction flash function
The red-eye reduction flash function with an exter-
nal flash attached can also be used depending on
what type of an external flash is attached, and it
may have any restrictions for usage. See page 76
more details. The red-eye reduction flash function
can be used only when the external flash is set to
the TTL Auto Mode.
Trailing-Shutter-Curtain Flash function
When using the built-in flash and the external flash
simultaneously, the trailing-shutter-curtain-flash
function for the built-in flash also operates when
the external flash is set to the trailing-shutter-cur-
tain-flash function. Before shooting, confirm that
both flash units are fully charged.
Contrast-Control-Sync Flash Photography
Using the AF330FTZ or AF500FTZ in combination
with the built-in flash allows twin flash photography
(contrast-control-synch flash photography). This is
based on the difference between the amount of
light discharged from two units.
1. Put the AF500FTZ or AF330FTZ in the
Contrast-Control-Sync Flash Mode.
2. Ensure that both flash units are fully
charged and then shoot.
• The ratio of the amount of flash light is 1 (built-in
flash) : 2 (dedicated flash unit).
• Do not combine an accessory with a different
number of contacts such as a “Hot Shoe Grip” as
a malfunction may occur.
• In the Contrast-Control-Sync Flash Mode, the
top flash sync speed is 1/60 of second.
Multi-burst flash with the Pentax dedicated
flash
When discharging more than 2 Pentax dedicated
flashes, make sure that they are of the same type,
combine the type B with Type C or Type D with
Type E. Refer to the overview of Flash Function on
page 78. The built-in flash can be operated with
any type of Pentax TTL dedicated flash unit except
AF400T
