Non-specified commercial flashes 1) Exposures when using a flash require that adjustments be made on the flash. If a flash is used in the auto mode, match it with the f-number and ISO sensitivity settings on the camera. 2) Even if the flash auto f-number and ISO sensitivity are set the same as on the camera, the correct exposure may not be obtained depending on the shooting conditions. In such a case, adjust the auto f-number or ISO on the flash or calculate the distance in the manual mode. 3) Use a flash with an illumination angle that matches the focal length of the lens. The focal length of the lens for 35 mm film is approximately twice as long as the focal length of the lenses designed for this camera. 4) Do not use a flash unit or other accessory TTL flash that has additional communication functions other than the specified flashes, since it may not only fail to function normally, but may also cause damage to the camera's circuitry. 7 Flash shooting 76 EN Playback functions Single-frame / Close-up playback The basic procedure for viewing pictures are as shown below.
