u Caution
• Never press 1 on the camera when any external flash unit
is attached to the camera. The built-in flash will hit the
external flash. If you want to use both at once, connect them
using an extension cord.
• Flashes with the reversed polarity (the center contact on the
hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging
the camera and flash.
• Do not combine with accessories that have a different
number of contacts, such as Hot Shoe Grip, as a malfunction
may occur.
• Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause
equipment breakdown.
t Memo
• With the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or
AF360FGZ II, you can use the high-speed sync flash to
discharge a flash and take a picture at a shutter speed faster
than 1/180 seconds. Set the capture mode to I, K, or L.
• By using two or more external flashes (AF540FGZ,
AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or AF360FGZ II) or by using these
external flashes in combination with the built-in flash, you can
use the wireless mode (controller flash) to shoot in P-TTL
flash mode without connecting the flash units with a cord. In
this case, set the camera channel on the external flashes.
You can check the set channel in the status screen, Live View
screen, and viewfinder. (p.14, p.19)
