Activating Flash

You can have the flash fire for each shot. For details on the flash range, see “Flash Range” (see “Specifications” (p. 34)).

Configure the setting.

Press the rbutton, choose h (either press the qrbuttons or turn the 5dial), and then

press the mbutton.

If the flash is down, it will be raised automatically.

Once the setting is complete, h is displayed.

Shooting with Slow Synchro

With this option, the flash fires to increase the brightness of the main subject (such as people) while the camera shoots at a slow shutter speed to increase the brightness of the background that is out of the flash range.

For details on the flash range, see “Flash Range” (see “Specifications” (p. 34)).

Configure the setting.

Press the rbutton, choose Z(either press the qrbuttons or turn the 5dial), and then

press the mbutton.

If the flash is down, it will be raised automatically.

Once the setting is complete, Zis displayed.

Shoot.

Even after the flash fires, ensure that the main subject does not move until the shutter sound is finished playing.

Mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still

and prevent camera shake. In this case, set [IS Mode] to [Off] (p. 141).
