different flash settings can be selected to
suit the recording mode. For the flash
settings that can be selected, refer to P49.

1 Press / to select [PRESET] or
[MANUAL] and then press
[MENU/SET].
• [PRESET]
–When setting to [PRESET] and attaching
the extra flash, the aperture value and
the ISO sensitivity are respectively set to
[F4] and [ISO100] on the camera
regardless of the recording mode. Set the
extra flash to [AUTO] and set the same
value as the settings on the camera.
– We recommend setting to [PRESET] for
normal use.
• [MANUAL]
– You can set the aperture value, the
shutter speed and the ISO sensitivity on
the camera even when attaching the
external flash.
– Set to the Aperture-priority AE mode or
the Manual exposure mode on the
camera and then set the same aperture
value and ISO sensitivity on the external
flash. (The exposure cannot be
compensated adequately due to the
change on the aperture value in the
shutter-priority AE mode and the
external flash cannot control the light
adequately in AE mode because the
aperture value cannot be fixed.)
– It is necessary to set the exposure on
the external flash. If you want to use the
external flash in auto mode, use an
external flash that allows you to set the
aperture value and the ISO sensitivity to
match the settings on the camera.
