INTEGRAL FLASH
The integral ash unit features the following specications:
Guide no. 12
Coverage 56º horizontal,
44º vertical
Maximum light fall-o at side centres - 1EV (50%)
Color temperature (full ash) 5,000 – 5,600º K
To raise the ash unit into its operative position, slide the
ash-back catch backwards in the direction of the ash sym-
bol. To return the ash unit into its closed position, push
down on the top of the back until it clicks back into place.
The ash unit is automatically activated when it is in the
operative position and de-activated when returned to its
stored position.
The green LED ash symbol blinks in the viewnder when
the ash unit is charging and remains stationary when fully
charged. The ash output can also be adjusted for optimum
light balance in ll-ash situations.
ACCESS TO CONTROLS
1. Activate the camera and press the FLASH button once.
2. Turn the Front scroll wheel to set the amount of com-
pensation required:
• from +3EV through -3EV
• press Clr to clear the setting quickly if required.
3. Turn the rear scroll wheel to set:
• normal sync (ash triggered just after the shutter
opens)
• rear sync (ash triggered just before the shutter
closes)
• ash measure (with non-TTL ash units or TTL
backs in Manual mode)
4. The grip display shows the ash mode – Normal or Rear
– in the standard display.
5. When set to Flash Measure, a specic screen requests
you to press the AE-L button in order to make a read-
ing. See below for details.

Note
For full coverage with the integral ash, use 80mm or longer
lenses (without a lens shade).
Note
Do not use the integral ash together when another external
TTL ash unit is connected (and used in TTL or A mode).
Using the integral ash:
1) Slide the ash-back catch backwards in the direction of
the ash symbol.
2) Press FLASH.
3) Choose between Normal or Rear sync by turning the
Rear scroll wheel and the amount of compensation (if
required) by turning the front scroll wheel.
4) Press Save. Make an exposure.
5) If the settings were incorrect to match the output of the
ash unit, the viewnder display shows a red triangle
alongside a ashing green ‘ash’ symbol plus a warning
message - ‘Low ash’. The grip display will also show a
warning message - ‘Low ash’.
Conventional measures should then be taken to correct
the situation. (That is: move closer to the main subject,
use a larger aperture setting or use a higher ISO setting).
