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
avoid camera shake, always use a tripod.
hSlowest shutter speed
“©” Night scene:up to 2 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
background brightly lit, use the “©” (Night) setting in Scene
position (➡P.30).
◆Suppressed flash ◆
●
!
Use a tripod to avoid camera shake, particularly for shots in
the dark when the selected flash mode is Suppressed
flash.
●
!
See P.23, 89 for information on the camera shake warning.
Pressing the flash down changes the camera to
Suppressed flash mode.
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.42)
operates so that natural colors are captured along
with the ambience of the available light.
