Flash Shooting in Each Camera Mode

X: Shutter Priority AE

In this mode, the camera will automatically adjust the flash output level to achieve standard exposure for the automatically set aperture.

If the aperture display blinks, it means that the background exposure will be underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the shutter speed until the aperture display stops blinking.

W: Aperture Priority AE

In this mode, the camera will automatically adjust the flash output level to achieve standard exposure for the set aperture.

If the background is dark, like a night scene, a slow sync speed will be used to obtain a standard exposure of both the main subject and background. Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with the flash, while a standard exposure of the background is obtained with a slow shutter speed.

Since a slow shutter speed will be used for low-light scenes, using a tripod is recommended.

If the shutter speed display blinks, it means that the background exposure will be underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the aperture until the shutter speed display stops blinking.
