PC FLASH ADAPTER PCT-100

The PC Flash Adapter PCT-100 allows a studio or location flash system to be connected to the camera with a standard PC cord. The adapter is compatible with both center positive (normal polarity) and center negative (positive polarity) flash units with a voltage of 400V or lower. The software upgrade included with the PCT-100 should not be used.

To ensure correct exposures, use the manual exposure mode. Set the shutter speed equal to or slower than the flash duration; refer to the flash unit’s instruction manual. The camera’s flash-compensation function has no affect on the flash exposure. To make an exposure bracket, press and hold the AEL button during the bracketing series to control the exposure with the aperture rather than the shutter speed.

The use of custom white balance is recommended. When calibrating the camera, use the shutter speed and aperture settings require for the final exposure. A gray card may have to be used as the reference target with powerful flash units to reduce the intensity of the illumination. If custom white balance is not practical, use the preset daylight or flash setting or set the color temperature to the flash unit’s color temperature if known; auto white balance is not recommended.
