Using the Flash
5
You can connect an external flash to the
camera with a sync cord by using the X-sync
socket.
X-sync Socket
• The use of high-voltage or high-current external flashes may cause a camera
breakdown.
• When a cord is connected to the X-sync socket, linked functions will not work.
• To prevent vignetting caused from Trailing curtain sync, it is recommended
to take a test shot using a shutter speed one level slower than the flash sync
speed.
• The contact of the X-sync socket is not splash and dust resistant. Attach the
provided Sync socket 2P cap when not in use.
