Hint
• If the screen is too dark to check the composition, set [Live View Display] to
[Setting Effect OFF] to make it easy to check the composition when shooting
with a flash.
• Flashes that have a sync terminal with reversed polarity can be used with this
product.
Note
• Set the exposure mode to manual exposure (other than ISO AUTO is
recommended for ISO sensitivity), and set the shutter speed to the slower of
the following values or slower:
– 1/200seconds
– The shutter speed recommended by the flash.
• Use flashes with a sync voltage of 400V or lower.
• Turn off the flash connected to the sync cord when you connect the sync cord
to the

sync cord is connected.
• The flash power level is set to full power. [Flash Comp.] cannot be set.

not be displayed.
• Flash cannot be used when [
