With the flash mode set for Slow Synchro, you can achieve correct exposure of both the subject and the background of a night scene.

Note

We recommend using a tripod to avoid camera shake.

The shutter remains open even after the flash fires. Ask the subject not to move immediately after the flash has fired, and then take the picture.

Do not touch or move the camera again until the shutter closes and the subject can be seen through the viewfinder or the card access lamp starts blinking.
