Application Shooting of Auto Flash

■Slow-speed Sync Mode

When using a normal flash to shoot a portrait, etc., in a night or evening setting, the background will appear very dark because a normal flash light cannot sufficiently light it. However, it is possible to balance both subject and background by using the flash to properly expose the foreground subject and a slow shutter speed to expose the low light background.

If your camera supports this mode, you can perform auto flash shooting. Before shooting, confirm the following.

1.Whether your camera supports slow-speed sync mode.
2.Whether the shooting mode of your camera supports slow-speed sync mode.
●Also refer to the operation manual of the camera.
