Using an Optional Speedlight
A ferrite core is provided with the COOLPIX4500. Before using an optional
Speedlight, be sure to attach this core to the sync cord adjacent to the camera
lead (see figure A, above at right). To prevent the sync cord from blocking the
viewfinder, connect it as shown above (B).
Notes on the Built-in Speedlight
In and scene modes, or when Auto is selected for the Popup option in
the shooting menu for P, S, A, or M mode ( 114), the built-in Speedlight
will pop up automatically. Do not prevent the built-in Speedlight from pop-
ping up by placing your fingers or other objects on top of the Speedlight.
When the built-in Speedlight is raised, keep your fingers and other objects
away from the flash window and photocell. If a shot seems dark even though
the flash fired, this may indicate that you accidentally blocked the flash win-
dow; check that the flash is unobstructed and try again.
