•Usable lenses with built-in Speedlight
• 28mm to 300mm CPU lenses can be used with the built-in Speedlight.
•Make sure to remove the lens hood.
•The built-in Speedlight cannot be used at shooting distance less than 0.6m. At
shorter shooting distances, we recommend using an optional Speedlight to
reduce vignetting.
• Vignetting occurs at the edges of the frame resulting in underexposure with the
following zoom lenses, which have limitations in usable focal length or shooting
distance (With colour print film, vignetting is reduced since the edges of the
frame are cropped out in film processing.):

•Flash exposure compensation lets you intentionally change the correct
exposure computed by the Speedlight and the camera. For example,
you can highlight the main subject by increasing the flash output or
prevent the main subject from becoming too bright by decreasing the
flash output.
1
Set flash exposure compensation by rotating the
Main-Command Dial while pressing the ˚ button
until the desired compensation value appears (–3 EV
to +1 EV in 1/2 steps).
3
Compose picture, focus and confirm fi appears in
viewfinder. Then make sure the subject is within the
flash shooting distance range and shoot.
•To cancel flash exposure compensation, rotate the Main-Command Dial
while pressing the ˚ button to reset the compensation value to 0.0.
Alternately, you can perform Two-Button Reset (page 76). (Turning the
power switch off does not cancel the flash exposure compensation
function.)
•When the flash exposure compensation is set, ~ appears in the LCD
panel and viewfinder. The compensation value can be checked by pressing
the ˚ button.
•Normally, you should compensate exposure to the + side when the
background is brighter than your main subject, or to the – side when the
background is darker.
