slightly longer focal length.

¢ When the flash unit is attached, [Sensitivity] is set to [AUTO], and [ISO Auto Upper Limit
(Photo)] is set to [AUTO]
• You can set the aperture value, the shutter speed and the ISO sensitivity on the camera even
when attaching a flash unit.
• If you record at close range with a short focal length/wide angle setting, light from the flash
may be blocked by the lens body, darkening the lower part of the image.
• It may take time to recharge the flash unit if you repeatedly take pictures. You must wait a
moment to take the next picture while the flash icon is flashing red indicating the flash is
charging.
• Do not bring any objects near the flash unit. The heat and light from the flash may cause the
objects to deform or discolor.
• Do not use commercially available flash units with high-voltage synchro terminals, reverse
polarity or functions that enable them to communicate with the camera. Doing so may cause
the camera to malfunction or operate incorrectly.
• With an attached flash unit, do not hold the camera/flash unit combination by the latter alone
because it may detach from the camera.
• Read the instructions of the flash unit for details.
