Taking Pictures in the Camera's P, A or S
Shooting Modes
The camera has three shooting modes in the P (program) mode, A (aperture)
mode and S (shutter) mode. You can take pictures in any of these modes
using this flash instead of the camera's built-in flash.
1
Check that the camera's built-in flash is stowed away (OFF).
2
Set this flash's ON/OFF switch to the ON side.
3
Set the camera's mode dial to "P", "A" or "S".
4
Check that the flash's control panel shows either "TTL AUTO " , "R-
TTL AUTO" or " AUTO" for the flash mode, "TELE" or "WIDE" for the
zoom mode, and auto focal distance.
5
Check that the CHARGED lamp is lit.
If the CHARGED lamp is out, the flash is not yet fully charged for firing.
MEMO
• If the flash is turned ON but not operated for a specific time, the power saving will
function and the control panel will be out. Pressing the shutter release button down
halfway will light up the panel and enable flash photography.
6
Compose the picture and push the shutter release button down all
the way.
The flash's illuminating angle will change automatically between WIDE
(wide-angle) and TELE (telephoto) as you zoom with your camera.
MEMO
• In dark places, a red light is automatically emitted from the AF illuminator.
• Depending on the subject, the light from the AF illuminator will be of little or no effect. If
you cannot focus on the subject, move closer to it or focus on its contrasted point.
7
Check that the AUTO CHECK lamp blinks.
You can check whether the flash fired correctly. If the AUTO CHECK
lamp blinks for 5 seconds after the shutter release button has been
pressed down all the way, the flash fired correctly.
