Using an On-Camera Flash
D Third-Party Flash Units
The camera cannot be used with flash
units that would apply voltages over
250 V to the camera’s X contacts or short-
circuit contacts on the accessory shoe.
Use of such flash units could not only
interfere with normal operation of the
camera but also damage the flash sync
circuits of the camera and/or flash.
