Canon Optura Manual Do Utilizador

For SLR-style flash photography, use a
Canon Speedlite 220EX or 380EX
with the camera. Use the camera in
exactly the same way as you would
normally in photo mode (p. 31). Turn
on the Speedlite using its main switch,
and wait for it to charge. When you
press the start/stop button halfway
down, the camera sets the autofocus
and the zoom is locked. Pressing the start/stop button fully down releases a pre-
exposure flash burst that sets the flash intensity, exposure and white balance.
The main flash is then sent out.

Flash Charging 
While the flash is charging, a white

flashes in the display.

When the flash is fully charged a green

lights up constantly in the display.

• Although it is possible to record a still image while the Speedlite is still

charging, the flash will not go off. In addition, the Speedlite cannot charge
while you are holding the start/stop button halfway down.

•

disappears from the display while the camera records the still picture.

Notes:
• For full details of how to use the Speedlite, refer to its instruction manual.
• If you use the Speedlite in the shutter-priority (Tv) recording program,  you can

choose any shutter speed between  1/60 and 1/1000, but a shutter speed of
1/100 gives the best results.

• In the aperture-priority (Av) recording program, you can choose any F number,

but an F number of less than F4 gives the best results.

• You cannot use the Speedlite with the:

- Negative-Positive Conversion program.
- FlexiZone AF. (When the

is displayed the FlexiZone frame returns to the

center of the display).

- Exposure Lock. (

goes out if you press the EXP wheel. It reappears when

you turn the lock off, by pressing the EXP wheel once more).

• Turn the Speedlite unit off when you do not require the flash.
• The Speedlite should be connected directly to the OPTURA’s accessory shoe: it

can not be used with the SA-1 Adapter Bracket (optional).

• The 380EX Speedlite’s internal automatic zoom is set to 28mm when attached

to OPTURA. The guide number is set to 21.

• You are unable to use the Speedlite 380EX’s bounce flash with OPTURA.
