Using other types of 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 inverted contacts, and will therefore not fire when attached to a 672 camera. For further information, contact the flash unit manufacturer. To prevent the view from being vignetted by the second shutter curtain, it is recommended that you use a shutter speed one step slower than the flash sync speed.

●The secondary functions do not work when the cord is connected to the X-sync terminal only.
