Using the 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 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.
