OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
• When attaching an external flash unit to the camera,
you should also purchase and install a gripped
bracket that can be secured to the camera's tripod
hole.
2.
Turn on camera power and make the required
camera settings.
• Exposure Mode: M (Manual Exposure)
• Shutter Speed: Around 1/60 (Actual setting should be
in accordance with aperture setting.)
• For maximum brightness of areas that are not reached
by flash illumination, use the camera's maximum ap-
erture opening (F2.0).
• White Balance: Sunlight
• Flash Mode: (Off)
3.
Turn on the external flash unit, and set it up for
the camera's aperture (F) value (page 84) and
sensitivity (ISO 100 equivalent) value.
• Depending on shooting conditions, proper exposure
may not be obtained even if you properly set the auto
aperture (F) value and ISO sensitivity of the flash unit
to match those of the camera. If this happens, adjust
the auto aperture (F) value, ISO sensitivity, or other
settings of the flash unit. Also try adjusting the aper-
ture of the camera.
IMPORTANT!
• The external flash connected to the external flash
sync terminal always fires. To record an image without
using external flash, disconnect the sync cable from
the terminal or turn off external flash unit power.
• To adjust the intensity of an external flash, use the
controls of the external flash unit. Changing the flash
intensity setting of the camera does not affect a con-
nected external flash unit. If the exposure of a re-
corded image on the monitor screen is not what you
want, adjust the external flash unit's aperture and ISO
sensitivity settings, or adjust the camera's aperture
setting, and then try recording again.
• Close-up recording with an external flash unit may
produce over-exposed images. If this happens, adjust
the external flash unit's aperture and ISO sensitivity
settings, or adjust the camera's aperture setting, and
then try recording again.
• Note that the camera's built in flash fires whenever its
Flash Mode setting is something other than
• The aperture (F) value indicated by the camera is the
value when optical zoom is at its widest (1X). Setting
optical zoom for telephoto causes the lens to become
somewhat darker. When using optical zoom, adjust
the external flash unit's aperture and ISO sensitivity
settings, or adjust the camera's aperture setting.
• When using a zoom flash, a coverage angle for a focal
distance of 33mm (1.3˝) or less for the flash unit is rec-
ommended.
