FLASH	�

�

1)Activate the camera and press the FLASH button once.

2)Turn the front control wheel to set the amount of compensation required:

•from +3EV through -3EV (amount dependent on ISO setting)

•press Clr (AF button) to clear the setting quickly if required.

3)Turn the rear control wheel to set:

•normal sync (ﬂash triggered just after the shutter opens)

•rear sync (ﬂash triggered just before the shutter closes)

•ﬂash measure (with non-TTL ﬂash units or TTL units in Manual mode)

4)The grip LCD shows the ﬂash mode - Normal or Rear - in the standard display.

5)When set to Flash Measure, a speciﬁc screen requests you to press the AE-L button in order to make a reading. See below for details.

Integral ﬂash

The integral ﬂash unit features the following speciﬁcations:

Guide no.	12
Coverage	56º horizontal, 44º vertical
Maximum light fall-oﬀ at side centres	- 1EV (50%)
Colour temperature (full ﬂash)	5,000 – 5,600º K

Example of viewﬁnder LCD display showing Flash set to Rear sync as well as ´- 1EV´ exposure compensation.

To raise the ﬂash unit into its operative position, slide the ﬂash-unit catch backwards in the direction of the ﬂash symbol. To return the ﬂash unit into its closed position, push down on the top of the unit until it clicks back into place. The ﬂash unit is automatically activated when it is in the operative position and de-activated when returned to its stored position.

The green LED ﬂash symbol blinks in the viewﬁnder when the ﬂash unit is charging and remains stationary when fully charged. The ﬂash output can also be adjusted for optimum light balance in ﬁll-ﬂash situations.

Do not use the integral ﬂash together when another external TTL ﬂash unit is connected (and used in TTL or A mode)

For full coverage with the integral ﬂash, use 80 mm or longer lenses (without a lens shade).

Using the integral ﬂash:

1)Slide the ﬂash-unit catch backwards in the direction of the ﬂash symbol.

2)Press the FLASH button.

��3) Choose between Normal or Rear sync by turning the rear

control wheel and the amount of compensation (if required)

��by turning the front control wheel.

4)Press Save (Drive ) button. Make an exposure.

5)If the settings were incorrect to match the output of the ﬂash unit, the viewﬁnder LCD displays a red triangle alongside a ﬂashing green ‘ﬂash’ symbol plus a warning message - ‘Low ﬂash’. The grip LCD will also display a warning message -

‘Low ﬂash’.

Conventional measures should then be taken to correct the situ- ation. (That is: move closer to the main subject, use a larger aper- ture setting or use a faster ﬁlm / higher ISO setting).
