Using an Externally Mounted Flash (Sold Separately)
High-Power Flash HF-DC1
This flash is used to supplement the camera's built-in flash when the
subject is too far away for proper illumination. Use the following
procedures to affix the camera and High-Power Flash to the supporting
bracket.
Please read the instructions accompanying the flash along with this
explanation.
z When in M shooting mode the high-power flash will not fire.
z The flash charge time will lengthen as the battery charge gets
weaker. Always set the power/mode switch to [OFF] when you
finish using the flash.
z Be careful not to touch the flash window or sensor windows with
your fingers while the flash is in use.
z In outdoor settings in the daylight, the flash may not detect
illumination from the camera's built-in flash and may not fire.
z The flash may fire if another flash is being used in close
proximity.
z The flash may not fire if there are no reflective items in its
metering field.
z For continuous shooting, although the flash fires for the first
shot, it does not fire for subsequent shots.
z If the battery usage time has considerably diminished, wipe the
battery terminals well with a dry cloth as the terminals may be
soiled with oil from one's skin or other dirt.
z If the battery is used in cold regions (0 °C /32 °F or lower), you are
recommended to carry a spare lithium battery (CR123A or DL123).
Keep the spare battery warm in your pocket until immediately
before using it, and exchange it frequently with the battery in the
flash.
