DETAILED
OPERATION
91
Your camera’s built-in flash provides coverage for a 28mm wide-angle
lens, with a flash guide number of 12 (ISO100). This section of your manu-
al covers the operation of accessory flashes as well as the built-in flash.
The high accuracy of your camera’s flash is achieved by ADI (Advanced
Distance Integration) flash metering in combination with the newly devel-
oped D series flash units and lenses. Compared with conventional TTL
flash metering, ADI flash metering is less influenced by background condi-
tions or the subject’s reflectance, providing optimum flash exposures
every time.

An optional accessory flash, such as the 5600HS(D) or 3600HS(D),
improves flash performance over the built-in flash. The flash units fit in
the accessory shoe located on the top of the camera.
• The flash signals for the accessory flash are the same as those for the built-
in flash (p. 35).
• Refer to the accessory flash’s instruction manual for the flash range. For the
5600HS(D), 5400HS, and 5400xi, the flash range is on the back of the flash
units.
• Refer to the accessory flash’s instruction manual to attach the flash
.
• The shutter speed is set automatically to a 1/90 second or slower. High-
speed sync is not compatible with this camera.

• The above corrections are intended as a general guideline. Some testing
may be necessary to produce the desired results.
• When using negative film, inform the photofinisher that multiple-exposure
pictures are included on the film.
The meter in your camera determines exposure (Ev) based on the
assumption that only one exposure will be made for each picture. When
making multiple exposures, the combined exposure of the series must
equal the exposure required for one picture.
• Compensation is not necessary if all of the exposures have dark
backgrounds and the subjects of the exposures will not overlap.
Compensate the exposures as follows:

• Sliding the main switch to OFF does
not cancel multiple exposure mode.
