Using Slow-Speed-Sync

You can use slow-speed-sync when shooting portraits with the sunset in the background. Both the portrait and the background are captured beautifully.

• Slow-speed-sync slows the shutter speed. Use a tripod to avoid camera shake. The picture will also blur if the subject moves.

• Slow-speed-sync shooting can also be performed with an external flash.

Using b(Shutter Priority) Mode

1Set the mode dial to b.

b(Shutter Priority) mode is set.

2Use the e-dial to set the desired shutter speed.

The background is not properly corrected if aperture value is flashing when shutter speed is set. Set the shutter speed so that aperture does not flash.

3Press the Kbutton. The flash pops up.

4Take the picture.

Using a(Manual) Mode

1Set the mode dial to a. a(Manual) mode is set.

2Set the shutter speed (under 1/180 sec.) and aperture value to obtain correct exposure.

3Press the Kbutton. The flash pops up.

In a(Manual) mode, pop up the flash at any time.

4Take the picture.

Distance and Aperture when Using the Built-in Flash
