PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

dForced flash

Use this mode in backlit scenes, such as a subject against
a window or in the shade of a tree, or to get the correct
colors when taking a picture under bright lighting. In this
mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

vSuppressed flash

Use this mode for taking pictures using indoor lighting, for
shots taken through glass, and for photography in places
such as theaters or at indoor sporting events where the
distance is too great for the flash to be effective. When
you use Suppressed flash, the selected white balance
function (➡P.57) operates so that natural colors are
captured along with the ambience of the available light.
●
!
Use a tripod to prevent camera shake when shooting in Suppressed
flash mode in the dark condition.
●
!
See P.116 for information on the camera shake warning.

cSlow synchro

This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter speed. This
allows you to take pictures of people at night that clearly
show both your subjects and the night time backdrop. To
prevent camera shake, always use a tripod.
hSlowest shutter speed
“©” NIGHT: up to 3 sec.

nRed-eye reduction + Slow synchro

Use this mode for Slow synchro shots with Red-eye reduction.
●
!
The image may be overexposed when shooting bright scenes.
To take a picture of a main subject at night with the
