Flash intensity control
This adjusts the amount of light emitted by the flash. In some situations (e.g., when shooting
small subjects, distant backgrounds, etc.), you may get better results by adjusting light emission.
It is useful when you intend to increase the contrast (distinction between light and dark) of
images to make the images more vivid.

External electronic flashes (optional)
In addition to the camera’s built-in flash capabilities, you can use any of the external flash units
specified for use with this camera. This enables you to take advantage of a wider variety of flash
shooting techniques to suit different shooting conditions.
The external flashes communicate with the camera, allowing you to control the camera’s flash
modes with various available flash control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP flash. The
flash can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the camera’s hot shoe.
Refer to the external flash’s manual as well.
