u Caution
• Flashes with the reversed polarity (the center contact on the
hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging
the camera and flash.
• Do not combine with accessories that have a different
number of contacts, such as Hot Shoe Grip, as a malfunction
may occur.
• Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause
equipment breakdown.
t Memo
• With the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or
AF360FGZ II, you can use the high-speed sync flash to
discharge a flash and take a picture at a shutter speed faster
than 1/200 seconds. Set the exposure mode to I, K, or
L.
• By using two or more external flashes (AF540FGZ,
AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or AF360FGZ II), you can use the
wireless mode to shoot in P-TTL flash mode without
connecting the flash units with a cord. In this case, set the
camera channel on the external flashes.
• You can set the flash sync speed in [7 Flash Sync Speed] of
the E1 menu.
• You can connect an external flash
to the camera with a sync cord by
using the X-sync socket. Remove
the Sync socket 2P cap to connect
a sync cord to the X-sync socket.
