Flash shooting<br />

Using commercially available flashes<br />

The amount of light emitted cannot be adjusted on commercially available flashes<br />

except for those specified. A small versatile flash can be synchronized with the<br />

camera at a shutter speed of 1/180 sec. or less, whereas a large flash (such as a<br />

studio flash) can be synchronized at 1/125 sec. or less. For details on nonspecified<br />

commercial flashes, refer to the next page.<br />

1 Remove the hot shoe cover to connect<br />

the flash unit to the camera.<br />

2 Set the exposure mode to M mode,<br />

then set the aperture value and<br />

shutter speed.<br />

● Be sure to turn on the flash after attaching<br />

the flash unit to the camera.<br />

4 Set the flash control mode on the<br />

flash to AUTO. Also set the ISO<br />

flash to match the camera’s settings.<br />

● Refer to the manual for the flash to set its<br />

flash control mode.<br />

● The camera’s flash mode except 2nd curtain will have no effect on the nonspecified<br />

commercial flashes.<br />
