You can capture a photo with a flash that is not fully charged, but it is recommended to use a fully charged flash.

Refer to the optional accessories page for available external flashes. (p. 195) The available options may differ depending on the shooting mode.

There is an interval between two bursts of the flash. Do not move until the flash fires a second time.

SEF8A may not be compatible with other NX series cameras.

For more details about optional flashes, refer to the user manual for the flash.

Use only Samsung-approved flashes. Using incompatible flashes may damage your camera.
