RECORDING MODE

FLASH RANGE AND CAMERA SENSITIVITY

For correct flash exposures, the subject must be within the flash range. The flash range can be
extended by changing the camera sensitivity (p. 65). When the camera sensitivity is set to auto, the
ISO is set between ISO 100 and 200. The flash range is measured from the CCD. Because of the
optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens' wide-angle position as it is at the telepho-
to position.

ATTACHING A MINOLTA ACCESSORY FLASH UNIT

To extend the versatility of the camera, an accessory flash unit (sold separately) can be mounted on
the camera. See page 150 for a list of compatible flash units.
Slide the accessory-shoe cap off as shown.
Mount the flash unit on the accessory shoe by sliding it
forward until it stops.
• Always remove the accessory flash when the camera is
