Shooting techniques

Making the best of the flash gives you various options.

When you set the flash mode to (Forced flash), you can shoot a back-lit subject brightly. An effect in which the flash light reflects in the subject’s eye is also available.

When the flash mode is set to Auto, the flash may strobe regardless of your intentions. In such situations, setting the flash mode to (No flash) slows the shutter speed automatically. This is effective when you shoot the trail of a car, the spectrum of a light, or the sunset. We recommend you use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

The (Slow synchro) is effective when you shoot a person during a sunset and the like. You can shoot the person clearly using the flash light and the background using a long exposure. If the camera cannot shoot clearly using the slow shutter, it automatically increases the ISO number. We recommend you use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
