options for flash automatic setting can be selected: Applicable in the <f> shooting mode.

•0: Auto*

•1: 1/250 - 1/60 sec. auto

*Normally, the sync speed is set automatically within 1/250 sec. to 30 sec. to suit the ambient brightness. In low light, the main subject is exposed with the automatic flash, and the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set automatically. The standard exposure will be obtained for both the subject and the background (automatic slow flash sync speed). With slow shutter speeds, using a tripod is recommended.
