As with the built-in flash, red-eye reduction is available using an external flash.
This may not be available on some flashes and it may have any restrictions for
usage conditions may be required. See the chart given on p.93.
When using the built-in flash with an external flash that has a trailing-
shutter-curtain sync flash function, the external flash is set to the trailing-
shutter-curtain flash function, the internal flash will also use this mode.
Confirm that both flash units are fully charged before shooting.
As shown in figure 1 below, attach the optional hot shoe adapter F
G to the
camera hot shoe and an off-camera shoe adapter to the bottom of the
external flash, and connect these with the extension cord F5P.
The off camera shoe adapter F comes with a tripod screw for securing to
your tripod.
Fig. 1 When combining with the built-in flash
To use two or more external flashes simultaneously, either use the same
type of flashes as shown in the flash function chart on p.93, or use the
following combinations: AF360FGZ / AF500FTZ / AF330FTZ and
AF400FTZ / AF240FT. The built-in flash can be used with any type. Connect
them as shown in Fig. 2 on the next page: Attach an off-camera shoe
adapter F to the external flash and the hot shoe adapter F and connect the
extension cord F5P to the off-camera shoe adapter F on the other external
flash.
