Super FP flash
Super FP flash is available with the FL-50/FL-36. Super FP flash timing is
longer than standard flash timing. This means that pictures can be taken at a
higher shutter speed than is possible with normal flashes.
Fill-in flash shooting with the aperture open (such as in outdoor portrait
shooting) is also possible with Super FP flash. For details, refer to the external
flash’s manual.
Using commercially available flashes
Use the M exposure mode on the camera when using any commercially
available flash (except optional electronic flashes specified for this camera).
For details on non-specified commercial flashes, refer to P. 61.
