Contrast-Control-Sync Flash Photography

Using the dedicated external flash in combination with the built-in flash allows twin flash photography (contrast-control-synch flash photography). This is based on the difference between the amounts of light discharged from two units.

Contrast control synch flash is possible with the combination of following flash units:

AF360FGZ, AF330FTZ, AF500FTZ and the built-in flash

1.Place the flash unit a part from the camera.

2.Depress the flash pop up button to activate the built-in flash.

3.Set the flash synch mode to the Contrast-Control-Synch mode.

2.Ensure that both flash units are fully charged and then depress the shutter button to take a picture.

✍MEMO

•The ratio of the amount of flashlight is 1 (built-in flash): 2 (dedicated flash unit).

•Do not combine an accessory with a different number of contacts such as a "Hot Shoe Grip" as a malfunction may occur.

•In the Contrast-Control-Sync Flash Mode, the faster flash sync speed is 1/60 of second.
