¤ Shooting with the FE Lock

Just as with the AE lock (p. 90), you can lock the exposure for shooting with the flash. FE stands for “Flash Exposure”.

Select h (p. 70).

Lock the exposure.

Point the camera toward the subject and

press the o button while pressing the shutter button halfway.

XThe flash will fire and when ¤ appears, the flash output will be retained.

If you release your finger from the shutter button and press the o button again, ¤ will disappear and the FE will unlock.

Compose the scene and shoot.

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.

Select ….

Press the r button, then use the qr buttons or turn the  dial to select , then press the m button again.

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. It is recommended to set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when shooting with a tripod (p. 144).
