begins to flicker, indicating the flash is being
charged.

redepress the shutter button half-way, and after
making sure the red lamp lights up (which
indicates the flash is ready), release the shutter.
The flash will start charging for the next shot,

depress the shutter button half-way while
pushing the daylight-sync button ( H ), then
make sure the red lamp lights up, and finally
release the shutter,
CAUTIONS

mentary light, the effect of flash differs more or
less, depending on how bright the available light
is or how long the camera-to-subject distance is.
