FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Use of the flash is recommended with indoor and night-time photography when the shutter speed is 1/30 second or shorter. The camera incorporates the “TTL direct metering” function for controlling the built-in flash automatically from the camera when it is used together with a Contax TLA flash system.

When using the TLA360 flash, be sure to read “2. Taking photographs using a Contax TLA360 flash” (page 78).

Refer to page 81 when using a non-dedicated flash with only an X contact.
