Flash shooting
In addition to the camera’s built-in flash capabilities, you can use any of the external flash
units specified for use with this camera. This enables you to take advantage of a wider variety
of flash shooting techniques to suit different shooting conditions.
The external flashes communicate with the camera, allowing you to control the camera’s
flash modes with various available flash control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP
flash. An external flash unit specified for use with this camera can be mounted on the camera
by attaching it to the camera’s hot shoe. You can also attach the flash to the flash bracket on
the camera using the bracket cable (optional).
