If you are using an externally mounted flash,
please refer to its manual for setting
instructions.

Center the subject on which you want to
lock the flash exposure setting in the
LCD monitor and press the shutter
button halfway to set the focus.

Press the button.
The flash exposure compensation setting will
lock (FE lock) and the
icon will appear in the
LCD monitor and display panel.
The flash will fire a pre-flash and lock the flash

the flash exposure locks at the required intensity
for that composition).
Pressing any button other than the shutter
