External flash (Cont.)
Using commercially available external flashes
External flashes (commercially available) can also be used with the exclusive FL-
BK01 (optional) and FL-CB01 bracket cable (optional). For details about how and
when to use external flash, see “Compatible commercially available external flashes”
(P. 180).
1
Mount an external flash on the flash
bracket, then fasten it to the camera's
tripod socket and connect the flash bracket
and the camera's 5-pin external flash
socket using the bracket cable.
2
Set the Mode dial to A/S/M and set A/S/M to
the M mode. Adjust the shutter speed and
the aperture (P. 53).
●Remember that a slow shutter speed can
produce blurred images. For the best results,
we recommend that you set the shutter
speed from 1/200 to 1/300 seconds.
3
Turn on the external flash.
4
Set the mode that automatically controls
the amount light emitted by the external
flash. Also set ISO and aperture on the
external flash to match the camera’s
settings.
●See the user’s manual for the external flash
to select its modes.

●The camera's flash mode will have no effect on the external flash. The external flash
will fire even when the camera's flash mode is set to OFF.
●Confirm in advance that the external flash you are using is synchronized with the
camera.
