PHOTOGRAPHY ▸ FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
135
A flash is usually fired at the start of exposure ( Start of Exposure ).
This may result in apparent contradictions, e.g. the image of a vehi-
cle being overtaken by its own light trail. This camera alternatively
allows synching with the end of exposure ( End of Exposure ). The
sharp image will in this case be a rendering of the end of the cap-
tured motion. This flash technique creates a more natural impres-
sion of movement and dynamics in the image.
This function is available with all camera and flash unit settings.
Factory setting:
End of Exposure
▸ Select Flash Settings in the main menu
▸ Select
Flash Sync
▸ Select the desired setting
( Start of Exposure , End of Exposure )
• The set sync point is shown in the header line.
Notes
• Do not use sync cables that are longer than 3 m.
• When using the flash with faster shutter speeds, a difference be-
tween the two flash firing points will be barely discernible or only
noticeable for very fast movements.
FLASH RANGE
The usable flash range depends on the aperture and sensitivity val-
ues set manually or calculated by the camera. It is important to en-
sure that the subject is within the relevant flash range for sufficient
illumination. A permanent setting to the shortest available shutter
speed for flash mode (sync time) may often result in unnecessary
underexposure of those subject elements that are not lit sufficiently
by the flash.
This camera allows the fine tuning of the shutter speed used in flash
mode in combination with aperture-priority mode depending on the
conditions of the object or your own pictorial composition ideas.
Factory setting:
Auto
▸ Select Auto ISO Settings in the main menu
▸ Select
Shutter Speed Limit (Flash)
▸ Select the desired value
( Auto , 1/2000 , 1/1000 , 1/500 , 1/250 , 1/125 , 1/60 , 1/30 ,
1/15 , 1/8 , 1/4 , 1/2 )
Note
• The menu item
Shutter Speed Limit (Flash) in submenu Flash
Settings
is identical to the menu item of the same name in sub-
menu
Auto ISO Settings . A setting in one menu will affect the
other.
