• When an external flash is attached, the following functions are available in addition to the
functions available with the built-in flash.
– Burst recording (when a setting other than [SH] is selected for [Burst Rate])
– Aperture Bracket
– Focus Bracket
• You can set the aperture value, the shutter speed and the ISO sensitivity on the camera even
when attaching the external flash.
• If you record at close range with a wide angle, light from the flash may be blocked by the lens,
darkening the lower part of the screen.
• Do not use commercially available external flashes with high-voltage synchro terminals,
reverse polarity or functions that enable them to communicate with the camera. Doing so may
cause the camera to malfunction or operate incorrectly.
• When attaching the external flash, do not hold only the external flash because it may detach
from the camera.
• Read the operating instructions of the external flash for details.
Using a stereo shotgun microphone (DMW-MS2: optional) or stereo
microphone (VW-VMS10: optional), you can record sounds with
quality superior to those recorded with the built-in microphone.
Using the stereo shotgun microphone (DMW-MS2:optional), you
can switch between the gun (ultra-directional) recording and the
