❚❚Flash Modes

The following flash modes are available when P, S, A, or M is selected in w(creative) mode:

•N(fill flash): The flash fires with every shot.

•NY(red-eye reduction): Use for portraits. The flash fires with every shot, but before it fires, the red-eye reduction lamp lights to help reduce “red-eye.”

•NYp (red-eye reduction with slow sync): As for “red-eye reduction”, above, except that shutter speed slows automati- cally to capture background lighting at night or under low light. Use when you want to include background lighting in portraits. Available only in modes P and A.

•Np(fill flash + slow sync): As for “fill flash”, above, except that

shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting at night or under low light. Use when you want to capture both subject and background. Available only in modes P t and A.

•Nr(rear curtain + slow sync): As for “rear-curtain sync”, below, except that shutter speed slows automatically to capture back- ground lighting at night or under low light. Use when you want to capture both subject and background. Available only in modes P and A.

•Nq (rear-curtain sync): The flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating a stream of light behind moving light sources as shown below at right. Available only in modes S and M.

Rear-curtain sync
