Continuous firings make the light-emitting section hot and may cause it to deteriorate or malfunc-
tion. Therefore, continuous firing should be limited to the counts shown in the following table.
Always leave the electronic flash unused for at least 10 minutes after continuous firing up to the
limit count.
CONTINUOUS FIRINGALL RESETAll Reset resets the custom setups to the factory default settings.
•Press the MODE and LIGHT buttons simultaneously for 2
or more seconds to reset the custom setups (except for
the distance display unit (m/ft)) to the default settings.
•The distance display unit (m/ft) is not altered by the all
reset operation.
■Limit counts of continuous firings
•Available counts of flash emission in synchronism with continuous shooting
The following table shows the flash emission count that can be synchronized to successive
shooting of the camera. Note, however, that the electronic flash should be left unused for more
than 10 minutes once the maximum continuous flash emission count has been reached.
■Number of frames that can be synchronized successively
(assuming that the continuous shooting rate of the camera is 8 frames/sec.)
