This enables you to take advantage of a wider variety of flash shooting techniques to suit different shooting conditions. The external flashes communicate with the camera, allowing you to control the camera's flash modes with various available flash control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP flash. An external flash unit specified for use with this camera can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the cameras hot shoe. You can also attach the flash to the flash bracket on the camera using the bracket cable (optional).

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

Precautions when using a Microdrive A Microdrive is a medium that uses a compact hard disk drive. Because the disk drive rotates, a Microdrive is not as resistant to vibration or impact as other cards. Special care is needed when using a Microdrive (especially during recording and playback) to make sure the camera is not subjected to shock or vibrations. Be sure to read the following precautions before using a Microdrive. Also, refer lo the manuals provided with your Microdrive. + Be very careful when putting the camera down during recording. Place it gently on a firm surface. + Do not use the camera in places subject to vibrations or excessive shock, such as at a construction site or in a car while driving along a bumpy road. + Do not take a Microdrive close to areas where it may be exposed to strong magnetism + The Microdrive may not function correctlÿ under low air pressure conditions, like in altitudes of 3,000 m (9,843 ft.) and higher. @ notes +_ The data in the card wil not be erased completely even after formatting the card or deleting the data.
