1) Slide the flash-back catch backwards in the direction of

the flash symbol.

Coverage

56º horizontal,

 

44º vertical Maximum light fall-off at side centres - 1EV (50%)

Color temperature (full flash)

5,000 – 5,600º K

To raise the flash unit into its operative position, slide the flash-back catch backwards in the direction of the flash sym- bol. To ­return the flash unit into its closed position, push down on the top of the back until it clicks back into place.

The flash unit is automatically­activated 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.

2)Press FLASH.

3)Choose between Normal or Rear sync by turning the Rear scroll wheel and the amount of compensation (if required) by turning the front scroll wheel.

4)Press Save. Make an exposure.

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

Conventional measures should then be taken to correct the situation. (That is: move closer to the main subject, use a larger aperture setting or use a higher ISO setting).
