Set the most appropriate aperture value according to the guide number of the flash used and the distance to the subject.

The flash guide number varies according to the ISO sensitivity (page 111) of the camera, so be sure to check the ISO number.

Note that the camera may not function properly or may malfunction when using a flash manufactured by another company for a specific camera (generally a flash with multiple contact points on the advanced accessory shoe), a high-voltage type flash, or a flash accessory.

If you record with [Hot Shoe] set to [Off] in the SET UP settings, the built-in flash may rise up. If this happens, return the built-in flash to its original position and set [Hot Shoe] to [On] (page 116).

Depending on the type of commercially available external flash, you may be unable to use some functions, and other operations may be difficult.

Using a conversion lens

Mode dial: /P/S/A/M/SCN/

Using a conversion lens (not supplied) will allow you to shoot with enhanced wide or telephoto effects. For details, please consult the operating instructions supplied with your conversion lens.

Always turn off the camera before mounting or removing the conversion lens. Failure to do so may result in damage or other malfunction.

When using the built-in flash, the light from the built-in flash may be blocked, causing the lens shadow to appear. We recommend using the Sony optional external flash.

The zoom feature cannot be used.

The built-in hologram AF cannot be used. We recommend using the Sony HVL-F32X flash.

Notes on using the Sony VCL- DEH17V telephoto end conversion lens

Set the zoom lever to the T (telephoto) side. Moving the zoom lever to the W (wide) side may cause the lens shadow to appear or make it difficult to focus.

When shooting with the NightShot function, the infrared rays may be blocked by the lens. We recommend using the Sony HVL-IRM infrared light.

When shooting with the NightFraming function, use both the Sony HVL-F32X flash and the Sony HVL-IRM infrared light. However, note that the image may gain a reddish tint.
