Optional Accessories Using Optional Speedlights (External Flash) The camera is equipped with an accessory shoe with a safety lock, allowing Speedlights SB-400, SB-600, SB-800 and SB-900 (available separately) to be mounted directly on the camera. Use Speedlights for indirect lighting or when additional lighting is required. The built-in flash W turns off automatically when using Speedlights. While p is displayed in the monitor, Speedlights flash mode is also displayed in the monitor, and it can be set with the same procedure as the built-in flash (A32). • Remove the accessory shoe cover before attaching a Speedlight. Slide the accessory shoe cover to the direction of the arrow as shown on the illustration to the right to remove it. • Refer to the Speedlight manual for more information on how to attach Speedlight and details. • Replace the accessory shoe cover when the Speedlight is not in use. D Speedlights SB-400, SB-600, SB-800 and SB-900 • Before using Speedlights SB-600, SB-800 or SB-900, set the Speedlight flash control mode to TTL. This enables the i-TTL flash control to use monitor pre-flashes to adjust flash output automatically in response to lighting conditions. Refer to the Speedlight manual for more information on i-TTL flash control. • Shooting with Wireless Lighting can be done by setting the SB-800, SB-900 or Wireless Speedlight Commander SU-800 to "commander", and setting the SB-600, SB-800 and SB-900 to "remote flash". However, the flash is not usable even if the monitor flashes when the SB-800 and SB-900 is set to "commander". The Wireless Lighting group setting is only applicable for group A. Change the setting for both the commander and the remote flash to group A. Refer to the Speedlight manual for more information. • When shooting with Wireless lighting, if ISO sensitivity is set to Auto, High ISO sensitivity auto or Fixed range auto, it will be fixed to ISO 64. • The camera does not support Flash Color Information Communication, Auto FP High-Speed Sync, FV lock, or AF-assist for multi-area AF when using Speedlights SB-600, SB-800 or SB-900. • Power zoom can be used with Speedlights SB-600, SB-800 or SB-900, setting illuminating angle automatically depending upon focal length. • When using Speedlights SB-600, SB-800 or SB-900, the edges of the picture shot at ranges under 2 m (6 ft. 7 in.) when the camera is zoomed out may appear darkened. In that case use the wide panel. • When set to STBY (stand-by), the Speedlight will power on and off at the same time as the camera. Confirm the Ready-light is on with Speedlight unit. 180 Technical Notes
