FLASH MODES
Select one of the three available operating modes.
– Automatic
– Manual
– Long-term exposure
AUTOMATIC FLASH ACTIVATION
That is the default flash mode. The flash unit will fire automatically
if poor lighting conditions would mean slower shutter speeds,
which could result in blurred images.
MANUAL FLASH ACTIVATION
This mode is suitable for backlit pictures in which the main subject
does not fill the entire frame and is in shadow, or in situations
where a fill-in flash will moderate sharp contrasts (e.g. in direct
sunlight). The flash will fire each time a picture is taken, regardless
of prevailing lighting conditions. The flash intensity depends on the
metered ambient brightness: in poor light it is the same output as
in automatic mode, with output decreasing with increasing
brightness. The flash will then work as a fill-in light, e.g. to light up
dark shadows in the foreground or backlit objects, and to create
more balanced overall lighting.
AUTOMATIC FLASH ACTIVATION AT SLOWER SHUTTER
SPEEDS (LONG-TERM SYNCHRONIZATION)
This mode ensures appropriately exposed, brighter dark back-
grounds and bright foreground.
The shutter speed is not extended beyond 1⁄30s in the other flash
modes to minimize the risk of blurring. This may mean, however,
that pictures with flash exposure can end up with objects in the
background not illuminated by the flash and therefore being
underexposed. In this mode, slower shutter speeds (up to 30s) are
permitted to avoid this effect.
