Using the external electronic flash
Be sure to attach the flash to the camera before turning on the flash’s power.
1
Remove the hot shoe cover by sliding it in the
direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration.
Keep the shoe cover in a safe place to avoid losing it, and put it
back on the camera after flash shooting.
2
Attach the electronic flash to the hot
shoe on the camera.
If the lock pin is protruding, turn the shoe lock ring
as far as it will go in the direction opposite to
LOCK. This will pull the lock pin back inside.
3
Turn on the flash.
When the charge lamp on the flash lights up, charging is
complete.
The flash will be synchronized with the camera at a speed of
1/180 sec. or less.
4
Select a flash mode.
5
Select the flash control mode.
TTL-AUTO is recommended for normal use.
6
Press the shutter button halfway.
Shooting information such as ISO sensitivity, aperture value, and shutter speed is
communicated between the camera and flash.
7
Press the shutter button all the way.
Super FP flash
Super FP flash is available with the FL-50 or FL-36. Use the Super
FP flash where normal flashes cannot be used with high shutter
speed. Fill-in flash shooting with the aperture open (such as in
outdoor portrait shooting) is also possible with Super FP flash. For
details, refer to the external flash’s manual.
