uCaution
The built-in flash does not discharge if the camera is
connected to an external flash.
Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause
equipment breakdown.
tMemo
When an external flash is attached directly to the hot shoe of
the camera, the camera’s center of gravity is shifted, making
it difficult to take pictures. Attach the Hot Shoe Adapter F
G
(optional) to the camera hot shoe and the Off-Camera Shoe
Adapter F (optional) to the bottom of the external flash, and
connect these with the Extension Cord F5P (optional) as
shown in the illustration. The Off-Camera Shoe Adapter F can
be mounted to your tripod using the tripod screw.
To use an AF160FC flash with the camera, a commercially
available step-up ring or similar accessory is needed.
