REAR FLASH SYNC

Rear flash sync is 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 will fire. This pre- flash does not exposure the subject, but is used in the calcu- lation of the flash exposure. The flash will fire again just before the shutter closes.

Camera Notes

Slow shutter sync can be set in P and A exposure modes. This flash mode controls the shutter and aperture to balance the ambient and flash illumination. When photographing a subject out- side at night, the ambient-light exposure will be balanced to bring out the details in the back- ground with the flash exposure for the subject. Because shutter speeds can be longer than usual, the use of a tripod is recommended.

1.Set the camera to the P or A exposure mode (p. 48).

2.Set “AE hold” or “AE toggle” in the Spot AF/AEL option of the advanced 1 section of the recording-mode menu (p. 80).

3.Frame the subject on the monitors.

4.Press the spot AF lock button to lock the exposure.

5.Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus. Compose the image on the monitors.

6.Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
