You can connect a sync cord to the
X-sync socket on the camera.
Caution
• Do not use high-voltage or high-current external flashes. They may
cause the camera to malfunction.
• A flash with reversed polarity (the center of the hot shoe or sync
plug has a negative symbol) cannot be used, as this may damage
the camera or flash.
• Linked functions will not work.
• To prevent vignetting caused by Trailing Curtain Sync from
occurring, it is recommended to take a test shot using a shutter
speed one stop slower than the flash sync speed.
• The contact of the X-sync socket is not dust-proof or water-
resistant. Attach the provided Sync socket 2P cap when not in use.
The following flash modes are available. The flash modes that
