Using an optional external flash AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II,
AF360FGZ, AF360FGZ II, AF200FG or AF160FC enables a
variety of flash modes, such as P-TTL auto flash mode.
x: Available #: Restricted ×: Not available
*1 Available only when using a DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, FA, F or A lens.
*2 Shutter speed of 1/90 seconds or slower.
*3 When combined with the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or
AF360FGZ II, 1/3 of the flash discharge can be output by the built-in
flash and 2/3 can be output by the external flash.
*4 Available only when combined with the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II,
AF360FGZ, or AF360FGZ II.
*5 Multiple AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or AF360FGZ II units,
or a combination of an AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or
AF360FGZ II unit and the built-in flash is required.
u Caution
• Never press the 1 button when any external flash unit is
attached to the camera. The built-in flash will hit the external
flash. If you want to use both at once, set the wireless mode
or connect them using an extension cord.
• Flashes with the reversed polarity (the center contact on the
hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging
the camera and/or flash.
• Do not combine with accessories that have a different
number of contacts, such as a Hot Shoe Grip, as a
malfunction may occur.
• Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause
equipment breakdown.
t Memo
• With the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or
AF360FGZ II, you can use the high-speed sync flash to
discharge the flash and take a picture at a shutter speed
faster than 1/180 seconds. Select an exposure mode (such
as I) which allows you to set the shutter speed.
• By using two external flashes (AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II,
AF360FGZ, or AF360FGZ II) or using the built-in flash with
one or more external flashes, you can use the wireless mode
to shoot in P-TTL flash mode without connecting the flash
units with a cord. In this case, set the camera channel on the
external flashes. The set channel can be checked on the
status screen, Live View screen, LCD panel, and in the
viewfinder.
• You can connect an external flash
to the camera with a sync cord by
using the X-sync socket. Remove
the Sync socket 2P cap to connect
a sync cord to the X-sync socket.
