uCaution

•Never press 1on the camera when any external flash unit is attached to the camera. The built-in flash will hit the external flash. If you want to use both at once, connect them using an extension cord.

•Flashes with the reversed polarity (the center contact on the hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging the camera and/or flash.

•Do not combine with accessories that have a different number of contacts, such as a Hot Shoe Grip, as a malfunction may occur.

•Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause equipment breakdown.

tMemo

•With the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or AF360FGZ II, you can use the high-speed sync flash to discharge the flash and take a picture at a shutter speed faster than 1/180 seconds. Select a capture mode (such as I) which allows you to set the shutter speed.
