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 back lit, 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.”

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

•SLOW (slow sync): Shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting at night

or under low light.

Use to include background 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).

Front-curtain sync Rear-curtain sync
