Notes
on
using the optional Speedlight
Flash sync speed is 1/125 sec. or slower when using
an
optional Speed light.
Available film speeds
for
TIL
Auto Flash are ISO 25 to
ISO
800.
When the Red-Eye Reduction function is used, the Red -
Eye
Reduction lamp on
the camera body (not on Speedlight unit) illuminates .
The AF-Assist Illuminator on the Speedlight unit usually emits light. However,
when a
non-TIL

or
manual flash is selected , the AF-Assist
Illuminator on the camera body lights up instead.
Set the exposure mode to A or M when shooting with the Speed light
in
mode
