Notes on Built-in and External Speedlights
• By default, the flash mode is set to auto and when additional light is required
for correct exposure, the built-in Speedlight will pop up automatically when
the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The built-in Speedlight will also
pop up when an external Speedlight is attached so that the photocell can be
used to correctly set exposure for the shot. If your finger or another object
obstructs the Speedlight, preventing it from popping up when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway, the built-in Speedlight and any external
Speedlight will not fire and a message will appear in the monitor.
• When Pop Up is set to Manual, the built-in Speedlight will only pop up when
the button is pressed. To use the photocell for external Speedlights, press
the button.
• When the built-in Speedlight is raised, keep your fingers and other objects
away from the flash window and photocell.
