Shooting with Slow Synchro

You can make the main subject, such as people, appear bright by having the camera provide the appropriate illumination with the flash. At the same time, you can use a slow shutter speed to brighten the background that the light from the flash cannot reach.

Raise the flash.

Choose Z.

zAfter pressing the rbutton, press the qr buttons or turn the 5dial to choose Z,

then press the m button.

XOnce set, Z will appear on the screen.

Shoot.

zEven if the flash fires, ensure that the main subject does not move until the shutter sound ends.

Attach the camera to a tripod to prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image. Additionally, you should set [IS Mode] to [Off] when shooting with a tripod (p. 159).

What if the setting screen does not appear even when you press the r button?

The flash is lowered. Raise the flash manually.
