●
An external flash cannot be attached simultaneously with an external viewfinder.
●
You can set the aperture value, shutter speed and ISO Sensitivity on the camera even
when an external flash unit is attached.
●
Some commercially available external flash units have synchro terminals with high-
voltage or reversed polarity. If such units are used, they could cause a malfunction or
hinder normal operation of the camera.
●
Do not use external flash units with communication systems for other camera makes.
If you do, they may fail to operate properly and may also cause the camera to
malfunction.
●
Some external flash units put the camera into external flash mode as soon as they are
mounted on the camera, even if the external unit is turned off. If you are not using an
external unit, detach it from the camera.
●
When an external flash unit is attached, do not open the built-in flash.
●
Detach an external flash unit when you carry the camera.

Never hold the camera/flash unit combination only by the flash unit. Doing so could
result in the camera accidentally detaching from the flash unit.
