Using commercially available external flashes
Provided that the flash can be connected to the hot shoe, a commercially
available external flash may be used. (Unlike the FL-20 and FL-40, the
amount of light emitted cannot be adjusted on commercially available
external flashes.)
For details on compatible commercially available external flashes, refer to the
next page.
1
Attach the external flash to the hot
shoe and connect it to the camera.
• For instructions on how to attach the flash,
refer to the manual for the external flash.
2
Select M mode. Adjust the shutter
speed and aperture.
• Remember that a slow shutter speed can
produce blurred images. For the best
results, we recommend that you set the
shutter speed from 1/200 to 1/300 seconds.
3
Turn on the external flash.
• Be sure to attach the flash to the camera
before turning the flash on.
4
Set the mode that automatically controls the amount of
light emitted by the external flash. Also set the ISO
sensitivity and aperture on the external flash to match the
camera’s settings.
• Refer to the user’s manual for the external flash to select its mode.
• The camera’s flash mode will have no effect on the external flash.
The external flash will fire even when the camera’s flash mode is set
to
$ (off).
• Confirm in advance that the external flash you are using is
synchronized with the camera.
