FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Built-in Speedlight and Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash
This camera is equipped with built-in Speedlight that provides an angle of
coverage for a 28mm lens with a guide number of 15 (ISO100, m).
Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash ensures proper exposure of the main subject and
background, and controls adequate flash output to create natural-looking flash
photography (with CPU lens).
In addition to shooting in dim light, the flash can be used in daylight to reduce
shadows on the main subject or to put catchlights in your subject’s eyes.
Four flash sync modes—Normal Sync, Red-Eye Reduction, Slow Sync and Red-
Eye Reduction with Slow Sync—are available with this camera.
When using a non-CPU lens, standard TTL flash is the only flash mode
available. To ensure optimum performance, use of CPU lenses is
recommended.
Flash shooting distance range
Flash shooting distance changes according to the film speed in use and aperture
setting.

The flash shooting distance range can also be calculated by dividing the guide
number by the aperture value selected.
Example: when f/2.8 is selected with ISO 100 film using this camera’s built-in
Speedlight, the maximum flash shooting distance will be;

Flash sync mode features
K: Red-Eye Reduction
The Red-Eye Reduction lamp lights for approx. 1
sec. before the flash fires to reduce the red-eye
effect in photos of people or animals.
L: Slow Sync
Normally, the camera’s shutter speed is
automatically set to 1/125 sec. with flash
photography. But for shooting nighttime scenes,
Slow Sync uses a slower shutter speed to bring out
background details using all of the available light.
Red-Eye Reduction and Slow Sync can be set simultaneously by selecting :.
See page 60.
Selectable flash sync modes depends on the exposure mode selected. See
page 64 for the available combinations of flash sync modes and exposure
modes.

NOTE: Flash Sync Modes
When Red-Eye Reduction or Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync is set, Red-
Eye Reduction lamp (page 2) lights for approx. 1 sec. before the flash fires.
Do not move the camera or let the subject move until shutter is released.
With some lenses, light from the Red-Eye Reduction lamp may not reach the
subject’s eyes. In some cases, red-eye effect may not be reduced effectively
due to the location of main subject.
With Slow Sync and Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync, keep the camera
steady to prevent picture blur since the shutter speed is slow. Use of a
tripod is recommended.
