Using the Flash
With the AF540FGZ or AF360FGZ, you can discharge the flash to take a
picture at a shutter speed faster than 1/180 second.
1
Remove the cover of the hot shoe and attach the external
flash.
2
Set the exposure mode to e, b, L or a.
Select an exposure mode which allows you to set the shutter speed.
3
Turn on the camera and the external flash.
4
Set the external flash sync mode to HSb (High-speed
flash sync).
5
Confirm that the external flash is fully charged and then
take a picture.
The b will light in the viewfinder when the flash is ready (fully charged).
• For details such as operation method and effective distance, please refer to
the external flash manual.
• The flash does not discharge if the subject is bright enough when the flash
mode is C or i. Therefore, it may not be suitable for Daylight-Sync
shooting.
• Never press the E button when any external flash unit is attached to the
camera. The built-in flash will hit the external flash. If you want to use both at
once, set the wireless mode or connect them using the extension cord.
