Using the FL-40 external flash

Various types of flash shooting are possible with the FL-40 external flash,
which can be used either by itself or together with the main flash.
If the FL-40 is used, flash mode and exposure compensation will be detected
automatically by the camera, allowing the main flash and external flash to
function together.
Using the two flashes together allows for more sophisticated lighting, such as
catch lighting.
To connect the FL-40 to the camera, the exclusive FL-BK01 flash bracket
(optional) and FL-CB01 bracket cable (optional) are required.

Mount the FL-40 external flash on the
flash bracket, then fasten it to the
camera’s tripod socket and connect
the flash bracket and the camera’s 5-

bracket cable.
● Refer to each separate instruction

manual for the external flash, flash
bracket, and flash cable.
