Use of a commercially available flash unit makes it possible to obtain a higher level of 
brightness than you get when using the built-in flash alone. An external flash also 
makes it possible to extend the effective range of flash photography.

• Some flash performance may be lost when using a ring flash or other type of unit 

with a long flash time.

• The aperture value and ISO sensitivity available with some flash units may not 

match the values supported by your camera. In such a case, make adjustments in 
the aperture setting of the external flash and the camera until proper brightness is 
achieved.

• An external flash unit cannot be used with Flash CS (page 48).

snapshot. The built-in flash will not fire.

• Be sure to select ¢ (External Flash) for the flash mode setting when using an 

external flash. If you don’t, the built-in flash will pop up during shooting, which can 
lead to malfunction if it comes into contact with the external flash unit.

• Note that the brightness of what you see on the monitor screen will be different 

from the brightness of the image you record. Make sure you check the settings of 
your external flash and of the camera before recording.
