Accessory Flash Notes

•To use a 1000 series AF flash unit, the Flash Shoe Adapter FS-1100 must be attached to the camera. When the flash is on, the flash will fire each time the shutter is released. At no time will the flash’s AF illuminator activate.

•The 5400HS, 5400xi, 3500xi, 3200i, and 5200i flashes zoom according to the focal length of the lens.

•For the 5400HS, 5400xi, and 5200i flashes, the flash range and coverage angle displays on the flash may not display focal lengths accurately.

•The flash range diagrams in the 3500xi and 3200i flash units are applicable for focal lengths with this camera.
