3 Set the exposure mode.

—Set the camera’s exposure mode to Shutter-priority auto (S) or Manual (M).

•Although rear-curtain flash sync is possible in Programmed auto (P) or Aperture-priority auto (A) mode, it is not recommended because you cannot intentionally adjust the shutter speed.

4Set the shutter speed.

•The slower the shutter speed you select, the more effective the results will be.

•Use of a tripod is recommended.

5 Check the shooting distance. Wait for the ready-light to come on and make sure the subject is in focus before taking the picture.

• In t, or ˙ mode, if the ready-light blinks for approx. 3 seconds after shooting, this indicates the light may have been insufficient for correct exposure. In this case, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject.
