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.

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).
