Selecting the Shooting Mode (Cont’d)

Fill-In

-Use this mode when a shadow falls on the subject’s face due to shade or artificial lighting, or when taking a picture against the light.

-Regardless of the brightness of the surroundings, the flash will always comes on.

Slow-Sync

-Use this mode when shooting a subject with a background of a night or evening view.

-Shooting with a flash is possible with a slow shutter speed.

•Shutter speeds will be slower, so use a tripod to prevent shaking.

•If the subject is moving, the picture will be blurred.

Off (Flash Override)

-Use this mode for places (such as museum) where flash is prohibited, or when taking a picture of a night view, or taking a picture using indoor lighting.

-The flash will not come on even when it is dark.

•Use a tripod to prevent shaking as shutter speeds are slower in the dark.

•If the red LED comes on when the shutter button pressed half-way, this is a warning that the lighting is not sufficient and the resulting picture will be dark.
