u Caution• Never press 1 on the camera when any external flash unit
is attached to the camera. The built-in flash will hit theexternal flash. If you want to use both at once, connect themusing an extension cord.
• Flashes with the reversed polarity (the center contact on the
hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging
the camera and/or flash.
• Do not combine with accessories that have a different
number of contacts, such as a Hot Shoe Grip, as amalfunction may occur.
• Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause
equipment breakdown.

t Memo• With the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or
