electronic fl ash units.

Activate the Flash setting if you will be using fl ash units that are not directly
compatible with the camera and will therefore not automatically adjust the white
balance of the camera.
ATTACHING THE FLASH UNIT
Switch off the camera and fl ash unit
Pull off the accessory shoe cover and store it in a safe place
Slide the foot of the fl ash unit all the way into the accessory
shoe and use the clamping nut (where available) to secure it
against accidental movement
• Movement inside the accessory shoe can interrupt required
contacts and therefore cause malfunctions.
The display for the set fl ash mode appears in white (see next
pages). The fl ash mode will blink red if the fl ash unit is not fully
charged and therefore not ready.
DETACHING THE FLASH UNIT
Switch off the camera and fl ash unit
Detaching the fl ash unit
Replace the accessory shoe cover
Note
• The accessory shoe cover should always be attached when no
accessory is used.
