Using an External Flash Unit
You can use an external flash unit when you want additional or specialized
lighting. You can use the camera’s built-in flash as well to provide extra fill
flash.
NOTE: Use either the Manual (page 17) or Aperture Priority
(page 19) shooting modes when using an external flash unit.
Automatic shooting (P on the Mode Dial)is not available with an
external flash unit.
When you open the flash unit again, the camera remembers and restores your
last flash setting.
When you are shooting in low-light conditions with the flash turned off, the
camera uses slow shutter speeds. Take care to avoid camera shake. Use a
tripod or place the camera on a steady surface.

Plug your external flash unit cable into the
external flash connector on the camera.
The connector accepts all standard
external flash cables.

We recommend that you apply the "Flash"
White Balance option (page 31) when
using an external flash.
