Using the Flash5 Combining two or more external flashes (AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ or 
AF200FG) or using an external flash in combination with the built-in flash 
allows multiple flash photography (contrast-control-sync flash 
photography). This is based on the difference between the amounts of 
light discharged from multiple units.
1Connect the external flash to the camera indirectly. 
Refer to p.187.
2Set the sync mode for the external flash to contrast-
control-sync mode.
3Set the mode dial to e, K, b, c or a.
4Confirm that both the external flash and built-in flash are 
fully charged and then take a picture.
Contrast-Control-Sync Flash
• The AF200FG must be combined with the AF540FGZ or AF360FGZ.
• Do not combine with accessories that have a different number of contacts, 
such as a Hot Shoe Grip, as a malfunction may occur.
• Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause equipment 
breakdown. We recommend using the AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ or AF200FG.
• When using two or more external flashes and the contrast-control-sync mode 
is set on the external master flash unit, the flash output ratio is 2 (master 
unit) : 1 (slave units). When an external flash is used in combination with the 
built-in flash, the flash output ratio is 2 (external flash) : 1 (built-in flash).
• When using multiple external flashes or using an external flash with the built-
in flash, P-TTL is used for flash control.

Setting a File Format
You can select the number of recorded pixels from E, J, P and i. 
The more pixels there are, the larger the picture and the bigger the file 
size. The file size will also vary according to the [JPEG Quality] setting. 
The default setting is E.
The paper sizes above are references for optimal printing by recorded 
pixels. The quality of the captured photo or printed picture depends on the 
quality level, exposure control, resolution of the printer and a variety of 
other factors.
