Shooting techniques

•When shooting indoors or using nightscape, you can use slow sync to shoot a bright image of people and the background.

•You can use rear sync to shoot a natural image of the trailing of a moving subject such as a moving bicycle or a walking person.

Performing wireless flash shooting

With an external wireless flash (not supplied), you can shoot with the flash without a cord when the external flash is not attached to the camera. By changing the position of the flash, you can shoot an image with a three dimensional feel by highlighting the contrast of light and shadow on the subject.

For the actual steps of shooting, refer to the operating instructions of the flash.
