Operation Manual

FLASH SYSTEM

FLASH MODES

: Autoflash

: Autoflash with pre-flash

: Flash cancel (in P mode)

: Remote off-camera TTL flash (blinking alternately)

The built-in flash operates in four different modes: single-burst,

single-burst with pre-flash, flash cancel, and as a remote trigger for an

off-camera flash. Autoflash is the camera's standard mode. In pre-flash

mode, the flash will fire a small burst before the exposure in order to

reduce red-eye in portraits. Flash cancel allows you to take pictures using

only available light. Remote off-camera flash control is explained

beginning on p.70.

CAUTION

The lens hood should not be used when taking picture with the camera's

built-in flash since vignetting will result.

When using AF ZOOM Xi 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 with the camera's built-in

flash, vignetting may occur; before taking flash pictures with this lens,

please check with the nearest Minolta Servce Facility for specific

limitations. For more Accessory Information, See p.90.
