Shooting in the dark

Icon Description

Slow Sync:

•The flash fires and the shutter stays open longer.

•This option is recommended when you want to capture more

ambient light to reveal more details in the background.

•Use a tripod to prevent your photos from blurring.

•The camera will display the shake warning when you are shooting in low light.

Red-eye Fix:

•The flash fires twice when the subject or background is dark. The

camera corrects red-eyes through its advanced software analysis.

•There is an interval between the 2 bursts of the flash. Do not move until the flash fires a second time.

Available options may differ depending on the shooting conditions.

•Flash options are not available if you set Burst options or select Blink Detection, Self-Portrait.

•Make sure that your subjects are within the recommended distance from the flash. (p. 151)

•If light from the flash is reflected or there is a substantial amount of dust in the air, tiny spots may appear in your photo.

• In some modes, you can also set the flash option by pressing [
