• The built-in flash will not discharge if the camera is connected to an external
flash.
• Flashes with reversed polarity (the center contact on the hot shoe is minus)
cannot be used due to the risk of damaging the camera and flash.
• When an external flash is attached directly to the hot shoe of the camera, the
camera’s center of gravity is greatly shifted, making it difficult to take pictures.
When using an external flash, it is recommended to use an extension cord to
separate the camera and flash. (p.217)
• To use an AF160FC flash with the camera, a commercially available step-up
ring or similar accessory is needed.
