ATTACHING THE FLASH UNIT

Before attaching a ﬂash unit to the ﬂash shoe (20) on the camera,

– the cover that protects the ﬂash shoe and the socket (28) when

not in use, must be detached to the rear, and

– the camera and ﬂash unit must be turned oﬀ.

When attaching a ﬂash unit, you should ensure that the foot of the

ﬂash unit is fully inserted into the ﬂash shoe and the clamping nut

is tightened to prevent it accidentally falling out. This is particularly

important for ﬂash units with additional control and signal

contacts, because if the position in the ﬂash shoe changes the

necessary contacts can be broken, leading to malfunctions.

Notes:

• This also applies when using a ﬂash unit with SCA adapter set

(see p. 228).

• Make sure the ﬂash shoe cover is always ﬁtted when no

accessories are in use (such as a ﬂash unit, an external

viewﬁnder or microphone). It will protect the socket 28 for a

time against water incursion.

FLASH MODE

Fully automatic ﬂash mode, i.e. controlled by the camera, is

available on the camera with the system-compatible ﬂash units

listed in the previous section, and in aperture priority

A and manual

exposure modes.

In addition, automatic illumination control is operational in all three

exposure modes. This means that in order to ensure a balanced

relationship between ﬂash and other lighting at all times, the ﬂash

power is reduced by up to 1

EV as ambient brightness increases.

However, if the ambient brightness plus even the shortest possible

ﬂash sync time of

180

s would cause overexposure, a non-HSS

compatible ﬂash unit will not be ﬁred in aperture priority mode. In

such cases the shutter speed is governed by the ambient

brightness and is shown in the viewﬁnder.

In aperture priority mode

A and with manual setting, the camera

also allows the use of creative ﬂash techniques such as

synchronization of ﬂash ﬁring with the 2nd shutter curtain rather

than the 1st, as is usual, and ﬂash with slower shutter speeds than

the sync speed of

180

s. These functions are set on the camera

using the menu (for more details, refer to the relevant sections

below).

In addition, the camera transfers the set sensitivity to the ﬂash

unit. This allows the ﬂash unit, provided it has received such

information and the aperture manually set on the lens is also input

to the ﬂash unit, automatically to adjust its range values

accordingly. With system compatible ﬂash units, the sensitivity

setting cannot be inﬂuenced from the ﬂash unit as it is transferred

from the camera.
