❚❚Flash Modes

The following flash modes are available:

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

•Nj(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.” Not available in 0 mode.

•Njp(slow sync + red-eye): As for “red-eye reduction”, above, except that shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting at night or under low light. Use

when you want to include background lighting in portraits. Not available in modes S, M, and 0.

•Np(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. Not available in modes S, M, and 0.

•Nt(rear-curtain + slow sync): As for “rear-curtain sync”, below, 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. Not available in modes S, M, and 0.

•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. Not available in modes P, A, and 0.
