Flash shooting
Flash modes
The camera sets the flash mode according to various factors such as firing pattern
and flash timing. Available flash modes depend on the exposure mode.
The flash modes are available to optional external flashes.
Auto-flash AUTO
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
To shoot a subject with backlighting, position the AF frame over the subject.
Red-eye reduction flash
The light from the flash may make the
subject’s eyes appear red in the picture. The
red-eye reduction flash mode significantly
reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-
flashes before firing the regular flash. This
helps accustom the subject’s eyes to the
bright light and minimizes the red-eye
phenomenon.
The subject’s eyes appear red.
Slow synchronization (1st curtain) SLOW
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 subject against a night scene,
fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark. Slow synchronization
allows you to capture both the background and the subject. Since the shutter
speed is slow, be sure to stabilize the camera by using a tripod so as not to cause
the picture to be blurred.
After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released.
Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.
Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at pre-
flashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics
may also limit effectiveness.
