Slow Synchro Shutter Shooting

This technique allows you to sync the Flash with the Slow Shutter Shooting. In most cases, if the flash is used in a very dark setting the background turns out dark, but when using the Forced Flash settings the exposure time lengthens (Slow Synchro Shutter Shooting) and brightens the background. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurring.

Main Functions Of The Flash Icons

Automatic Flash (default

The flash will automatically go off in a dark

setting)

setting. In a well lit setting, the flash will not

 

go off. This can be used for most settings.

 

 

No Flash

Turns off the flash even in dark scenes. Use

 

it for night scenes or wherever you are

 

prohibited from using a flash. Please note

 

that these shots may become blurred due

 

to very slow shutter speed. ’No Flash’ is the

 

automatic setting in CONTINUOUS or

 

VIDEO CLIP mode.

 

 

Auto red-eye reduction

Use this setting when recording with a flash

 

at night or indoors. The flash will go off

 

once and will go off again when the

 

picture is taken. This will help to reduce

 

red-eye phenomenon.

 

 

Forced Flash

The flash will go off at any time no matter

 

the brightness. Use it when the

 

background is bright or when you are

 

shooting against the sun. When used in

 

dark settings, the length of exposure

 

becomes longer, changing into Slow

USING THE SELF TIMER

Use the self-timer when you are recording an image of yourself or a group that includes you. Also, this feature will eliminate blurring.

Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON.

Short Self Timer

Shots taken at night, at sunset or in MACRO mode can easily become blurred. The shot often becomes blurred when the camera moves (because the shutter is open) while the shutter button is pressed down. When using the Short Self Timer the shutter is set to release 2 seconds after the button has been pressed, helping you to take photos that are not blurred. The light will flash quickly for 2 seconds before the shutter goes off.
