Using the Flash

You can use the P-TTL auto flash with the AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ,

AF200FG or AF160FC flash unit.

Remove the cover of the hot shoe, and attach the external

flash.

Turn on the camera and the external flash.

Set the external flash mode to [P-TTL].

Confirm that the external flash is fully charged, and then

take a picture.

Using P-TTL Mode

• The maximum sync speed available with an external flash is 1/250 sec.

• P-TTL auto flash is only available with an AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ, AF200FG

or AF160FC flash unit.

• For details such as operation method and effective distance, please refer to

the external flash manual.

• The flash does not discharge if the subject is bright enough when the flash

mode is set to C or i. Therefore, it may not be suitable for daylight-sync

shooting.

• Never pop up the built-in flash manually when any external flash unit is

attached to the camera. The built-in flash will hit the external flash.

Red-eye Reduction

As with the built-in flash, the red-eye reduction function is available

with an external flash. The red-eye reduction function works by

discharging the flash twice even when only an external flash is used.

However, this function may not be available on some flashes or may

have restrictions for usage conditions. Refer to the chart on p.215.
