The external flash cannot be used together with the Live View Finder (optional) or

External Viewfinder (optional).

You can set the aperture value, shutter speed and ISO Sensitivity on the camera even

when the external flash is attached.

Some commercially available external flashes have synchro terminals with high-

voltage or reversed polarity. If such flashes are used, they could cause a malfunction

or hinder normal operation of the camera.

Do not use an external flash with communication functions other than a flash

(optional) for this camera. If you use other flashes, they may fail to operate properly

and may also cause the camera to malfunction.

Some external flashes put the camera into external flash mode as soon as they are

mounted on the camera, even if the external flash is turned off. If you are not using

the external flash, detach it from the camera.

When the external flash is attached, do not open the built-in flash.

When the external flash is attached, the camera will become unstable, and therefore

we recommend using a tripod to take pictures.

Detach the external flash when you carry the camera.

Be sure to hold both the camera and the external flash when it is attached to the

camera. If you hold only the external flash, it could become detached from the

camera.

If the White Balance is set to [ ] when the external flash is used, perform fine
