Using the Flash
5
With the AF540FGZ or AF360FGZ, you can discharge the flash to take a
picture at a shutter speed faster than 1/180 second. High-speed flash sync
can be used with the flash attached to the camera, or wireless.
Attaching and Using the AF540FGZ or AF360FGZ on the Camera
1 Remove the cover of the hot shoe and attach the external flash
(AF540FGZ or AF360FGZ).
2 Turn the mode dial and set the exposure mode to b or a.
3 Turn on the camera and the external flash.
4 Set the external flash sync mode to HSb (high-speed flash sync).
5 Confirm that the external flash is fully charged and then take the picture.
By using two external flashes (AF540FGZ or AF360FGZ) or using the
built-in flash with an external flash, you can shoot in P-TTL flash mode
without connecting the flash units with a cord. High-speed sync mode is
also available for wireless shooting.
P-TTL auto is only available with the AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ or AF200FG
flash unit.
•The b will light in the viewfinder when the flash is ready (fully charged).
For details such as operation method and effective distance, please read the
external flash manual.
The flash does not discharge when the subject is bright enough when Flash
Mode is
C
or
i
. Therefore, it may not be suitable for daylight-sync shooting.
Never press the K button 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, see p.149 for the connection method.
Using High-Speed Flash Sync Mode
•The b will light in the viewfinder when the flash is ready (fully charged).
High-speed flash sync is only available when the shutter speed is faster than
1/180 sec.
High-speed flash sync is not available when the exposure mode is set to
p
(Bulb).
Using in Wireless Mode
Set the power switch of the external flash to [WIRELESS].
Set the wireless mode of the external flash not directly connected to the
camera to [SLAVE].
