To ensure correct exposures, use the manual exposure mode. Set the shutter speed equal to or
slower than the flash duration; refer to the flash unit’s instruction manual. The camera’s flash-
compensation function has no affect on the flash exposure. To make an exposure bracket, press
and hold the AEL button during the bracketing series to control the exposure with the aperture
rather than the shutter speed.

The use of custom white balance is recommended. When calibrating the camera, use the shutter
speed and aperture settings require for the final exposure. A gray card may have to be used as the
reference target with powerful flash units to reduce the intensity of the illumination. If custom white
balance is not practical, use the preset daylight or flash setting or set the color temperature to the
flash unit’s color temperature if known; auto white balance is not recommended.
