Using an External Flash
Use of a commercially available flash unit makes it possible
to obtain a higher level of brightness (guide number) than
you get when using the built-in flash alone. An external
flash also makes it possible to extend the effective range of
flash photography.
• The guide number of the internal flash is 8 (ISO 80/m).
External Flash Unit Requirements
Any external flash unit you use with this camera must
satisfy the following requirements.
• Variable flash intensity (AUTO)
• Flash Duration: Less than 1/1000 sec.
• Coverage Angle: Coverage of 33mm equivalent 35mm
focal length lens (without wide conversion lens)
IMPORTANT!
• Some flash performance may be lost when using a
ring flash or other type of unit with a long flash time.
• The aperture value and ISO sensitivity available with
some flash units may not match the values
supported by your camera. In such a case, make
adjustments in the aperture setting of the external
flash and the camera until proper brightness is
achieved.
