FLASH MODES

The flash mode can be changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 64). For the flash to fire, the built-in unit must be manually raised; lower the flash to prevent it from firing. The auto-white-balance setting gives priority to the flash’s color temperature. If another type of white balance is used, priority is given to the active setting’s color temperature.

Fill-flash - used as the main or supplementary light. In low-light conditions, the flash acts as the main source of illumination and overpowers the ambient light. Under strong sunlight or in backlit situations, the fill-flash can reduce harsh shadows.

BRACKETING SETUP

The bracketing increment and the number of frames in a exposure and flash bracket is selected in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 64). The bracketing increment is in Ev (p. 81). For information on the bracketing drive mode, see page 58.

BRACKETING ORDER

The order in which the bracketing frames is captured selected in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 64). For information on the bracketing drive mode, see page 58.

Bracketing order

Red-eye reduction - used when taking photographs of people or animals in low-light conditions. The red-eye effect is caused by light reflected from the retina of the eye. The camera fires several pre-flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.

Rear sync.

Rear flash sync - used with long exposures to make trailing lights or blurring appear to follow rather than proceed the subject. The effect is not apparent if the shutter speed is too fast and stops the subject’s motion.

When the shutter is released, a pre-flash fires. This pre-flash is not for exposure, but for metering. The flash fires again just before the shutter closes.

Normal - underexpose - overexpose*

Underexpose - normal - overexpose

* With a five frame bracket, the bracketing order is 0, –, +, –, +.

Wireless / Remote flash - allows the camera to control an off-camera flash unit without the need of a cable. See page 72.
