Taking Photographs—Flash Photography

Using Built-in and Optional Speedlights

When the Speedlight Is Not in Use

To save battery power when the Speedlight is not in use, return it to the closed position

by pressing it lightly downward until you hear the latch click into place.

Choose an exposure mode ( 76). Note that if manual exposure is se-

lected, standard TTL flash for digital SLR will be used.

Set shutter speed and aperture. The values that can be chosen for shutter

speed and aperture when the built-in Speedlight is raised are shown be-

low.

flash sync settings of slow sync, slow rear-curtain sync, and red-eye reduction with

slow sync.

†Speeds faster than

180

s will be reduced to

180

s while the built-in Speedlight is

raised. The viewfinder shutter-speed display will show the modified value; the

original value will blink on and off in the control panel display.

** Flash range varies with aperture. When setting aperture in aperture-priority auto

and manual exposure modes, consult the table of flash ranges on the following

page.

Check that the flash-ready indicator appears in

the viewfinder. If the built-in Speedlight is

raised, photographs can only be taken when

the flash-ready lamp is displayed.

Compose your photograph, making sure that your subject is within range

of the flash ( 100), then focus and shoot. If the flash-ready light blinks

for about three seconds after the photograph is taken, the flash has fired

at full output and the photograph may be underexposed. Check the re-

sults in the monitor. If the photograph is underexposed, adjust settings

and try again.
