Other Flash Units
Use only ash units with one signal terminal, which must
be an X-contact with a positive voltage of no more than
20 V. Use a ash that covers the angle of view of the lens.

attach the ash to the hot shoe.
3
Set aperture manually.
Turn the camera on, select mode A or M, and choose
an aperture (pages 18, 48, 50).
4
Choose a manual ISO sensitivity setting.
Select an option other than Auto for ISO sensitivity
(page 90).
5
Turn the ash on.
Turn the ash on and set it to auto mode. Set
aperture and ISO sensitivity to the values selected

aperture and ISO settings as necessary.
Turn the optional ash unit o before removing it from

Cautions
• If the external ash is on, it will re with every shot regardless to
the ash mode selected with the camera. Turn the ash unit o
to shoot without the ash.
• Optional ash units are in principle for use at ranges that exceed
the range of the built-in ash. Using an optional ash unit at
shorter ranges may result in overexposure.
