To raise the flash unit into its operative position, slide the flash-unit catch backwards in the
direction of the flash symbol. To return the flash unit into its closed position, push down on
the top of the unit until it clicks back into place. e flash unit is automatically activated when
it is in the operative position and de-activated when returned to its stored position.
e green LED flash symbol blinks in the viewfinder when the flash unit is charging and
remains stationary when fully charged. e flash output can also be adjusted for optimum
light balance in fill-flash situations.
!
Do not use the integral flash together when another external TTL flash unit is connected
(and used in TTL or A mode)
!
For full coverage with the integral flash, use 80 mm or longer lenses.
Using the integral flash:
1) Slide the flash-unit catch backwards in the direction of the flash symbol.
2) Set any required flash compensation (FLASH button / front control wheel / Save).
3) Make an exposure.
4) If the settings were incorrect to match the output of the flash unit, a red triangle appears
in the viewfinder along with a flashing green ‘flash’ symbol together with a warning
message on the LCD - ‘Low flash’. The grip LCD will also display a warning message -
‘Low flash measurement’.
5) Conventional measures should then be taken to correct the situation. (That is: move
closer to the main subject, use a larger aperture setting or use a faster film).
