External Flash (optional)

Removing the Hot Shoe Cover
The camera comes with a hot shoe cover attached to the hot shoe.

Remove the hot shoe cover by pulling it in the
direction indicated by arrow
2 while pressing it in the
direction indicated by arrow

When the hot shoe is not in use, make sure to attach the hot
shoe cover.

Please be careful not to lose the hot shoe cover.

Keep the Hot Shoe Cover out of reach of children to prevent
swallowing.

When using other commercially available external flashes without
communication functions with the camera

It is necessary to set the exposure on the external flash. If you want to use the external flash
in Auto Mode, use an external flash that allows you to set the aperture value and the ISO
sensitivity to match the settings on the camera.

Set to Aperture-Priority AE Mode or Manual Exposure Mode on the camera and then set the
same aperture value and ISO sensitivity on the external flash. (The exposure cannot be
compensated adequately due to the change on the aperture value in Shutter-Priority AE
Mode and the external flash cannot control the light adequately in Program AE Mode
because the aperture value cannot be fixed.)
