It is impossible to describe in detail all camera types and their indivi-
dual dedicated flash functions within the framework of these instruc-
tions. Therefore, please refer to the flash mode description in your
camera’s operating instructions to find out which functions are sup-
ported and which ones have to be set manually on the camera.
