1 Limit for slow shutter speed is set using Custom Setting 21 (Shutter spd; 152). Regardless of option selected, camera may set shutter to speeds as slow as 30 s at flash sync settings of slow sync, slow rear-curtain sync, and slow sync with red-eye reduction.

2 Speeds faster than 1/500 s will be reduced to 1/500 s when built-in Speedlight is raised or optional Speedlight is attached and turned on.

3 Flash range varies with aperture. Consult table of flash of flash ranges ( 100) when setting aperture in A and M modes.

6 Check that the flash-ready indicator appears in the viewfinder. If the flash-ready indicator is not displayed when the built-in Speedlight is used, the shutter release will be disabled.

7 Compose the photograph, making sure that the subject is within range of the flash ( 100), then focus and shoot. If the flash-ready light blinks for about three seconds after the photograph is taken, the flash has fired at full output and the photograph may be underexposed. Check the results in the monitor. If the photograph is underexposed, adjust settings and try again.
