ATTACHING A MINOLTA ACCESSORY FLASH
To extend the versatility of the camera, an accessory flash unit (sold separately) can be
used. Always remove the accessory flash when the camera is not in use, and replace the
accessory-shoe cap to protect the contacts.
Slide the accessory-shoe cap off as shown. Mount
the flash unit on the accessory shoe by sliding it
forward until it stops.
The following Minolta flash units are compatible with this camera:
Maxxum/Program Flash 2500(D)
Maxxum/Program Flash 3600HS(D)
Maxxum/Program Flash 5600HS(D)
System Accessories
When using an accessory flash, the camera uses pre-flash TTL metering to determine exposure.
The flash modes available when using an optional flash unit varies with the
exposure mode. Autoflash can only be used with auto, program (P), and
Digital Subject Programs. Fill-flash and slow sync. can be used with all
exposure modes except movie. Red-eye reduction cannot be used. Because
of the large distance between the flash tube and optical axis, red eye is rarely
caused by accessory flash units.
Off-camera flash cables and accessories are not compatible with this camera. The Close-up
Diffuser CD-1000 can be used, but AF speed is reduced.
