u Caution
• Never press 1 on the camera 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, connect them 
using an extension cord.
• Flashes with the reversed polarity (the center contact on the 
hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging 
the camera and/or flash.
• 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.
t Memo
• With the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or 
AF360FGZ II, you can use the high-speed sync flash to 
discharge the flash and take a picture at a shutter speed 
faster than 1/180 seconds. Select a capture mode (such 
as I) which allows you to set the shutter speed.
