uCaution

The built-in flash will not discharge if the camera is connected to an external flash.

Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause equipment breakdown.

tMemo

When an external flash is attached directly to the hot shoe of the camera, the camera’s center of gravity is shifted, making it difficult to take pictures. Attach the Hot Shoe Adapter FG (optional) to the camera hot shoe and an Off-Camera Shoe Adapter F (optional) to the bottom of the external flash, and connect these with the Extension Cord F5P (optional) as shown in the illustration. The Off-Camera Shoe Adapter F can be mounted to your tripod using the tripod screw.

To use an AF160FC flash with the camera, a commercially available step-up ring or similar accessory is needed.
