Slow Sync

Making a Dark Background More Visible

Without Slow Sync, the automatically controlled shutter speed is controlled between 1/250 second and 1/60 second. When flash pictures are taken with this rather narrow shutter speed range in dim light, the subject appears bright and well exposed, but the background may appear very dark, almost black. Setting Slow Sync extends the automatic controlled shutter speed range down to 30 seconds, enabling background details to stand out.

IMPORTANT:

To avoid image blur, attach the camera to a tripod.
