Using an Optional Speedlight

Flash control for optional Speedlights is performed using the photocell on the built-in Speedlight, which pops up automatically when required in mode or when Auto (the default setting) is selected for Pop Up. Do not block the built-in Speedlight with your fingers or other objects. When the built-in Speed- light is raised, keep your fingers and other objects away from the photocell.

Flash-Mode Indicators for Optional Speedlights

When Internal Off is selected in the Speedlight Cntrl sub-menu, a icon appears next to the flash-mode indicator to show that built-in Speed- light is off. Flash mode for the op- tional Speedlight is set by pressing the button ( 64), and the flash mode for the optional Speedlight is shown as at right.
