About the strobe to be used
• A strobe that only has a hot shoe cannot be used with this camera.
• It is recommended to use a strobe with which iris setting around f-5.6 is
possible. About the relationship between the GN of a strobe and the f-
stop of the iris, see "Setting of the iris (f-stop) according to the GN of a strobe."
• The color quality of a printout may differ depending on the strobe used.
Adjust the color quality of a printout, if necessary, by menu operation
(page 42).
About the guide number
• The guide number (GN) indicates the intensity of light to expect from a
strobe.
• The correlation among the GN, the distance between the lens and the
subject, and the iris is expressed as follows:
GN = f × d (f = iris setting, d = distance between the lens and the subject)
