Notes:

*1. When using a Type C flash (except AF220T) in the MS (Manual Sync) or M (Manual) modes, set the camera’s exposure mode to the Aperture-Priority AE Mode, Manual or Bulb. The Program and Aperture-Priority AE Modes cannot be used because the actual required aperture value may change.

*2. AF500FTZ and AF330FTZ do not have the auto flash capability.

*3. AF140C and AF080C do not have the auto flash capa- bility.

*4. In the MS (Manual Sync) or M (Manual) mode, the Shutter-Priority AE cannot be used because the actual required aperture value may change.

Using other type of a flash

•Use of non-Pentax flash units may damage the camera. For the best results, use a Pentax dedicated flash unit.

•Some large studio type flashes may have reversed con- tacts and may not fire with the 645N2 camera. For further information, contact the manufacturer or local supplier of the flash unit. Also, some studio flash units may not sync properly and part of the image could be blacked out by the second shutter curtain. It is recommended, for safe- ty’s sake, to use a shutter speed one step slower than flash sync speed.
