A Flash 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:

 

• R(auto flash): Flash fires as required when lighting is poor or subject

 

is back lit.

 

• j(red-eye reduction): Use for portraits. Flash fires at low intensity

 

before main flash, reducing “red-eye” but increasing lag between

 

shutter-release button being pressed all the way down and shutter

 

being released.

 

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

 

back-lit.

 

• S(slow sync): Shutter speed slows automatically to capture

 

background lighting at night or under low light. Use to include

 

background lighting in portraits.

 

• T(rear-curtain sync): The flash fires just before the shutter closes,

l

creating streams of light behind moving light sources as shown below

at left.
