Using the Flash

Flash Characteristics in Each Exposure Mode

Using the Flash in b Mode

When taking a moving subject, you can use the flash to change the blur effect.

The aperture value automatically changes according to the ambient brightness.

Using the Flash in c Mode

You can set the desired aperture value to take a flash photograph when you want to change the depth of field or shoot a subject farther away.

The shutter speed automatically changes with the ambient brightness.

Using the Slow-speed Sync

You can use Slow-speed Sync in .(Night Scene Portrait) of H(Scene) mode or b (Shutter Priority Automatic Exposure) mode when shooting portraits with the sunset in the background. Both the portrait and the background are captured beautifully. G and H can be used in e (Program Automatic Exposure) or c (Aperture Priority Automatic Exposure) mode.

Slow-speed Sync slows down the shutter speed. Use the Shake Reduction function or turn off the Shake Reduction function and use a tripod to avoid camera shake. The picture will also blur if the subject moves.

Slow-speed Sync can also be performed with an external flash.
