UJINU tAlti -INAL I- L/Abli I PRECAUTIONS FOR USING FLASH Cautions for using flash are explained below. ♦ Using the built-in flash and a dedicated external flash • If you use the built-in flash and a Pentax-dedicated external flash simultaneously and set the external flash to trailing shutter curtain sync, the built-in flash will also be set to trailing shutter curtain sync. • Before taking the picture, make sure both the built-in flash and external flash are ready (fully charged). ♦ Using a non-Pentax flash unit • Using a non-Pentax flash unit may cause a malfunction. Pentax-dedicated flash units are recommended. • When using studio type flash with the camera, note the polarity of the flash contacts. Some studio type flash units may have reversed polarity which will not work with the camera. For details, consult the manufacturer of the flash. • When using studio type flash, set a flash sync speed one stop slower than the camera's normal sync speed. This is to prevent a partial flash exposure (part of the picture looks dark). AHdVEID01.0Hd HSV1J do

PRECAUTIONS
FOR
USING
FLASH
Cautions
for
using
flash
are
explained
below.
♦
Using
the
built-in
flash
and
a
dedicated
external
flash
•
If
you
use
the
built-in
flash
and
a
Pentax-dedicated
exter-
nal
flash
simultaneously
and
set
the
external
flash
to
trail-
ing
shutter
curtain
sync,
the
built-in
flash
will
also
be
set
to
trailing
shutter
curtain
sync.
•
Before
taking
the
picture,
make
sure
both
the
built-in
flash
and
external
flash
are
ready
(fully
charged).
♦
Using
a
non-Pentax
flash
unit
•
Using
a
non-Pentax
flash
unit
may
cause
a
malfunction.
Pentax-dedicated
flash
units
are
recommended.
•
When
using
studio
type
flash
with
the
camera,
note
the
polarity
of
the
flash
contacts.
Some
studio
type
flash
units
may
have
reversed
polarity
which
will
not
work
with
the
camera.
For
details,
consult
the
manufacturer
of
the
flash.
•
When
using
studio
type
flash,
set
a
flash
sync
speed
one
stop
slower
than
the
camera's
normal
sync
speed.
This
is
to
prevent
a
partial
flash
exposure
(part
of
the
picture
looks
dark).
