FULLTIME AF Keeps the image in focus at all times without having to press the shutter button halfway. AF MODE Selects the auto focus method (iESP or SPOT).

Select the flash mode by turning the jog dial while holding down.

Flash shooting (P.79)

If close-up pictures are overexposed, try using the main flash by itself. When the main flash and the FL-40 are used together, the main flash is used as the compensating light source. This means that if the amount of light from the FL-40 is insufficient (beyond its working range), the resulting pictures may be underexposed.
Using commercially available external flashes
Provided that the flash can be connected to the hot shoe, a commercially available external flash may be used. (Unlike the FL-40, the amount of light emitted cannot be adjusted on commercially available external flashes.) For details on compatible commercially available external flashes, refer to the next page.
Attach the external flash to the hot shoe and connect it to the camera.
For instructions on how to attach the flash, refer to the manual for the external flash.
Select mode. Adjust the shutter speed and aperture.
Manual shooting (P.93) Remember that a slow shutter speed can produce blurred images. For the best results, we recommend that you set the shutter speed from 1/200 to 1/300 seconds.
Turn on the external flash. Set the mode that automatically controls the amount of light emitted by the external flash. Also set the ISO sensitivity and aperture on the external flash to match the cameras settings.
Refer to the users manual for the external flash to select its mode. The cameras flash mode will have no effect on the external flash. The external flash will fire even when the cameras flash mode is set to (off). Confirm in advance that the external flash you are using is synchronized with the camera.
Compatible commercially available external flashes
When selecting an external flash, use products which meet the following basic conditions. (1) Some flashes available on the market operate with a high voltage synchro terminal. If one of these is used, it may damage the camera, and/or the camera may not function normally. Contact the manufacturer of the flash you are using concerning the specifications of the flashs synchro terminal. (2) Some flashes available on the market have the polarity of the synchro terminal reversed. In this case, even if the flash is connected, it will not fire. Contact the manufacturer of the flash for more information. (3) Exposures when using an external flash require that adjustments be made on the external flash unit. If an external flash is used in the auto mode, match it with the F value and ISO sensitivity settings on the camera. (4) Even if the auto F value and ISO sensitivity of the external flash are set to the same conditions as those on the camera, depending on the photographic conditions, it is possible that the correct exposure may not be obtained anyway. In such a case, adjust the auto F value or ISO value on the external flash unit or calculate the distance in the manual mode and use it that way. Generally, however, the auto F value and ISO value can only be adjusted 1 step and beyond that, exposure compensation cannot be made. (Exposure compensation in the camera is made invalid in external flash photography.) (5) Use a flash which is capable of covering an illumination angle for a 35 mm or larger lens when calculated for 35 mm film. However, in close-up photography with the lens on the wide setting, the bottom of the image may not expose correctly. The ideal is to have a wide angle adapter to fit on the flash and spread the illumination angle so it is wider. (6) Use a flash unit with a flash time of 1/200 sec. or less when using the flash at full strength. For devices with a long flash time, such as a ring flash, a portion of the light emitted will not contribute to the exposure. (7) If a flash unit or other accessory TTL flash that has additional communications functions other than the FL-40 is used, it may not only fail to function normally, but may also cause damage to the cameras circuitry. Do not use such a device.

How to use the menus (P.70) AUTO is not available in A, S or M mode. Press again to exit the menu. When ISO sensitivity is not set to auto, ISO is displayed on the control panel.
Higher ISO settings produce more electrical noise. ISO is standardized based on the sensitivity of normal camera film. The scale is approximate. When ISO is set to AUTO and you are shooting in dark conditions without a flash, the sensitivity automatically increases, otherwise the shutter speed will be reduced, possibly resulting in camera movement and blurred images. If the subject is too far away for the flash illumination to reach when ISO is set to AUTO, the sensitivity is automatically increased. When using slow synchronization in the P, A or S mode, the slowest available shutter speed varies depending on the ISO setting.

Exposure compensation

This function allows you to make fine changes to the present exposure setting using the (exposure compensation) button and jog dial. In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust the exposure in the range of 2.0 in 1/3 steps. When the setting is changed, you can check the result on the monitor.
Turn the jog dial while holding down.
Adjust toward + : Turn to the right to adjust up to +2.0 in 1/3 steps. Adjust toward - : Turn to the left to adjust up to -2.0 in 1/3 steps.
The exposure compensation value is displayed on the control panel.
TIPS Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward - when shooting dark subjects. Pressing when the monitor is turned on and HISTOGRAM is set to ON displays the histogram on the OFF monitor.
