Flash shooting
Flash off
● Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low-light situations
when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent
your pictures from being blurred by camera movement.
Note
Set the flash to this mode when you do not want to use the flash. Use this
mode in situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, or
when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene.
SLOW:
Slow synchronization
Regardless of the shutter speed, the flash fires right after the shutter fully
opens.
SLOW:
Slow synchronization with red-eye reduction
This is for when you want to use Slow Synchronization yet also reduce red-
eye. For instance, when shooting a person against a brightly lit night
background. A normal flash might make the person’s eyes red, but slow
synchronization with red-eye reduction lets you capture the background
correctly and reduce red-eye at the same time.
The Slow Synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds.
Normally, when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a
certain level to prevent camera movement. But when shooting a night scene
background, fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark. Slow
Synchronization flash allows both a slow shutter speed for the background
and a flash for the subject. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure you
stabilize the camera by using a tripod. Otherwise, camera movement may
cause the image to be blurred.
