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.

After pressing the rbutton, press the qr buttons or turn the Ê dial to choose , then press the m button.

XOnce set, will appear on the screen.

Shoot.

Even if the flash fires, ensure that the 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 the [IS Mode] to [Off] when shooting with a tripod (p. 165).

Adjusting the Flash Exposure Compensation

Just like with Exposure ompensation (p. 74), you can adjust the exposure ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments when using the flash.

Select the compensation amount.

After pressing the r button, immediately turn the Ïring and select the compensation amount, then press the mbutton.

Safety FE

The camera automatically changes the shutter speed or aperture value when the flash fires to avoid overexposing and blowing out the highlights in the scene. However, if you press the nbutton to display the 4tab and set [Safety FE] to [Off] in [Flash Settings], the shutter speed and aperture value will not automatically adjust.
