•Irrespective of flash setting, a flash ON signal is output to the X contact of the hot shoe. To stop an external flash, use a switch on the flash.

•Exposure may not be appropriate even when the f-number and ISO sensitivity of the external flash are the same as those of the camera. If so, change the f-number and ISO sensitivity of the flash.

•As the flash ON signal, the camera outputs a positive pulse to the X pulse contact.

•A flash on the market rarely have an X contact of the opposite polarity. This kind of flash may not only not work but also cause a problem to the camera. For the terminal specifications, contact the manufacturer of the external flash.

•Use an external flash of a lighting angle covering the angle of view of the shooting lens.

•Use an external flash basically at a distance where the internal flash is not adequate (long distance). Shooting at a short distance may end in over-exposure.
