The camera will cycle through the available flash-sync modes in the order shown below.

* In programmed auto and aperture-priority auto modes, the mode icon shown at right will be displayed when the flash mode button is released.

When red-eye reduction is used, there is a one-second delay between your fully pressing the shutter-release button and the shutter being released. Be careful not to move the camera or to let your subject move during this time. Red-eye reduction works best when your subject is well within the range of the flash and is fully turned to face the camera.

To prevent blurring caused by camera shake, use of a tripod is recommended with slow sync or red-eye reduction with slow sync.

Rear-curtain sync can not be used with a studio flash system.
