4.Turn on the external flash unit, and set it up for the camera’s aperture value and sensitivity value.
•Depending on shooting conditions, proper exposure may not be attained even if you properly set the auto aperture value and ISO sensitivity of the flash unit to match those of the camera. If this happens, adjust the auto aperture value, ISO sensitivity, or other settings of the flash unit. Also try adjusting the aperture of the camera and the ISO sensitivity to match the flash setting.
