Set the ISO value and aperture value on the camera to match the
flash control mode on the flash.
• Refer to the flash’s manual for instructions on how to set its flash control
mode.
Non-specified commercial flashes
1) Exposures when using a flash require that adjustments be made on the flash. If a
flash is used in the auto mode, match it with the f value and ISO sensitivity
settings on the camera.
2) Even if the flash auto f value and ISO sensitivity are set the same as on the
camera, the correct exposure may not be obtained depending on the shooting
conditions. In such a case, adjust the auto f value or ISO on the flash or calculate
the distance in the manual mode.
3) Use a flash with an illumination angle that matches the focal length of the lens.
The focal length of the lens for 35 mm film is approximately twice as long as the
focal length of the lenses designed for this camera.
4) Do not use a flash unit or other accessory TTL flash that has additional
communication functions other than the specified flashes, since it may not only fail
to function normally, but may also cause damage to the camera’s circuitry.
x Notes
• The flash fires each time the shutter is released. When you do not need to use
the flash, turn off the flash’s power.
• Check beforehand that the flash you are using is synchronized with the
camera.
