unexpectedly.
1.
Remove the shoe cap.
• Keep the shoe cap in a safe place where it will not become lost.
• Replace the shoe cap when you are not using the external flash shoe. The
shoe cap protects the shoe contact from dirt and damage.

external flash shoe.
3.

required camera settings.
REC mode: M (Manual Exposure) mode

4.
Turn on the external flash unit, and set it up for the camera's aperture
value and sensitivity value.
• Depending on shooting conditions, proper exposure may not be attained even
if you properly set the auto aperture value and ISO sensitivity of the flash unit
to match those of the camera. If this happens, adjust the auto aperture value,
ISO sensitivity, or other settings of the flash unit. Also try adjusting the aperture
of the camera and the ISO sensitivity to match the flash setting.
