1 Mount the external flash on the flash
bracket, fasten the bracket to the
camera’s tripod socket and connect the
flash bracket and the camera’s 5-pin
external flash socket using the bracket
cable.
2 Select M from “A/S/M mode setting”.
See P. 52. Adjust the shutter speed and
the aperture (P. 60).
● 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.
4 Set the mode that automatically
controls the amount of light emitted by
the external flash.
5 Set ISO and aperture on the external
flash to match the camera’s settings.
● See the user’s manual for the external
flash to select the modes.
External flashes (commercially available) can also be used with the FL-BK01
(optional) and FL-CB01 bracket cable (optional) when the camera’s mode dial
is set to A/S/M.
