test fired by pressing the AEL button on the camera. AEL button setup in section 1 of the

the camera, flash, or subject position. The slow shutter sync is active in P and A exposure
modes (p. 47).
When the 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D) flash is charged, the AF illuminator on the front of
the unit blinks. The viewfinder flash signal shows the status of the camera flash (p. 31).
Take a picture as described in the basic recording section on page 28.

light sources, the flash may not be able to detect the control signals from the camera’s
built-in flash.

1 of the recording menu, or inaccurate flash exposures will result. The 5600HS(D) and
3600HS(D) flash units can be reset simultaneously with the camera. Simply mount the
flash unit in the accessory shoe and change the wireless flash mode setting on the menu
to another flash mode.
