❚❚Auto FP High-Speed Sync

When 1/320 s (Auto FP) or 1/250 s (Auto FP) is selected for Custom Setting e1 (Flash sync speed, 0 299), the built-in flash can be used at shutter speeds as fast as 1/320 s or 1/250 s, while compatible optional flash units (0 382) can be used at any shutter speed (Auto FP High-Speed Sync).

*Flash range drops as shutter speed increases. Flash range will nevertheless be greater than that obtained at the same speeds with Auto FP.

DThe Flash-Ready Indicator

When the flash fires at full power, the flash-indicator in the camera viewfinder will blink to warn that the resulting photograph may be underexposed. Note that the flash-ready indicators on optional flash units will not display this warning when 1/320 s (Auto FP) is selected.
