DRaising the Flash

When using the flash, be sure it is fully raised as shown at right. Do not touch the flash dur- ing shooting.

AFlash Modes

The flash modes listed on the previous page may combine one or more of the following settings, as shown by the flash mode icon:

•AUTO (auto flash): When lighting is poor or subject is backlit, flash pops up automatically when shutter-release button is pressed halfway and fires as required.

•Y(red-eye reduction): Use for portraits. Red-eye reduction lamp lights before flash fires, reducing “red-eye.”

•s (off): Flash does not fire even when lighting is poor or subject is backlit.

•SLOW (slow sync): Shutter speed slows automatically to capture back- ground lighting at night or under low light. Use to include back- ground lighting in portraits.

•REAR (rear-curtain sync): Flash fires just before shutter closes, creating a stream of light behind moving light sources (below at right). If this icon is not displayed, flash will fire as the shutter opens (front-curtain sync; the effect this produces with moving light sources is shown below at left).
