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).

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).
