Remove sync terminal cover and attach flash bracket sync cord. Illusration at right shows COOLPIX4500 with SK-E900 flash bracket and optional Speedlight.

Using an Optional Speedlight

A ferrite core is provided with the COOLPIX4500. Before using an optional Speedlight, be sure to attach this core to the sync cord adjacent to the camera lead (see figure A, above at right). To prevent the sync cord from blocking the viewfinder, connect it as shown above (B).

Notes on the Built-in Speedlight

In and scene modes, or when Auto is selected for the Popup option in the shooting menu for P, S, A, or M mode ( 114), the built-in Speedlight will pop up automatically. Do not prevent the built-in Speedlight from pop- ping up by placing your fingers or other objects on top of the Speedlight.

When the built-in Speedlight is raised, keep your fingers and other objects away from the flash window and photocell. If a shot seems dark even though the flash fired, this may indicate that you accidentally blocked the flash win- dow; check that the flash is unobstructed and try again.
