SLOW SYNC.

When using flash, pressing the AEL button activates the slow-sync. function; slow sync. is not available in S and M exposure modes. Slow sync. balances the ambient light exposure with the flash exposure so the background is recorded with the subject.

When the AEL button is pressed and held, the ambient light exposure is determined and the flash exposure is based on the locked aperture setting. The use of a tripod is recommended with slow-sync. exposures.

SPOT-AF BUTTON

Spot AF can be used at any time. With the spot AF area placed on the subject, press and hold the central button of the controller to focus (1). The viewfinder focus signal confirms focus and the spot AF indicator (2) is displayed on the monitor. Pressing and holding the four-way controller key activates and locks focus with the wide focus area.

Compose the image in the viewfinder and press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture. Focus remains locked after the picture is taken until the central controller button is released.
