Taking Pictures Using the Built-in Flash

1

Press the flash lock release button so that the flash

pops up. Then hold down the synchro mode button “j

and turn the command dial to set the synchro mode.

When the flash pops up, it starts charging. When charging is complete, the Ready icon “j” appears in the viewfinder display.

When normal synchro mode “j” is selected, the “j” on the top display panel disappears when you take your finger off the synchro mode button “j”.

To stow the flash, push it down gently by hand.

The built-in flash cannot be used when the battery adapter is used.
