Integral flash
The integral flash unit features the following specifications:
Guide no. 12
Coverage 56º horizontal, 44º vertical
Maximum light fall-off at side centres - 1EV (50%)
Colour temperature (full flash) 5,000 – 5,600º K
To raise the flash unit into its operative position, slide the flash-unit
catch backwards in the direction of the flash symbol. To return
the flash unit into its closed position, push down on the top of the
unit until it clicks back into place. e flash unit is automatically
activated when it is in the operative position and de-activated
when returned to its stored position.
e green LED flash symbol blinks in the viewfinder when the
flash unit is charging and remains stationary when fully charged.
e flash output can also be adjusted for optimum light balance
in fill-flash situations.
Do not use the integral flash together when another external TTL
flash unit is connected (and used in TTL or A mode)
For full coverage with the integral flash, use 80 mm or longer lenses
(without a lens shade).
Using the integral flash:
1) Slide the flash-unit catch backwards in the direction of the flash
symbol.
2) Press the FLASH button.
3) Choose between Normal or Rear sync by turning the rear
control wheel and the amount of compensation (if required)
by turning the front control wheel.
4) Press Save (Drive ) button. Make an exposure.
5) If the settings were incorrect to match the output of the flash
unit, the viewfinder LCD displays a red triangle alongside a
flashing green ‘flash’ symbol plus a warning message - ‘Low
flash’. The grip LCD will also display a warning message -
‘Low flash’.
Conventional measures should then be taken to correct the situ-
ation. (That is: move closer to the main subject, use a larger aper-
ture setting or use a faster film / higher ISO setting).
