“Flash shooting” (P.79)
• If close-up pictures are overexposed, try using the main flash by
itself.
• When the main flash and the FL-40 are used together, the main
flash is used as the compensating light source. This means that if
the amount of light from the FL-40 is insufficient (beyond its working
range), the resulting pictures may be underexposed.
