Using commercially available flashes

available flash except for the flashes specified for this camera. For details on
non-specified commercial flashes, see “Non-specified commercial
flashes” (

g P. 57).

1

Remove the hot shoe cover to
connect the flash unit to the
camera.

2

Set the shooting mode to M
mode, then set the aperture
value and shutter speed.
Set the shutter speed to 1/180

sec. or slower. If the shutter
speed is faster than this,
commercially available flashes
cannot be used.

A slower shutter speed may

produce blurred images.

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.

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.
