Using the Built-in Flash with the External Flash
Discharging Multiple Flashes
Do not combine with accessories that have a different number of contacts
such as a Hot Shoe Grip as a malfunction may occur.
Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause equipment
breakdown. We recommend using the AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ or AF200FG.
