Photography Using the Flash (continued)
Memo
If you take a photograph in the [ ] Slow Synchro mode at a place with a dark background or in the [ ]
Suppressed Flash mode at a dark place, the shutter speed slows down, and the slow shutter speed warning is
displayed. (When the shutter is pressed half way down, the viewfinder LED blinks green and the slow shutter
speed mark [ ] is displayed in the LCD monitor.) We recommend using a tripod to keep the camera stable
and prevent distorted images.
The flash setting is not canceled even if the camera is turned OFF in the [ ] or [ ] modes. (The [ ]
mode always becomes the [AUTO] mode when the power is turned ON.)
Using the flash during burst photography, multi photography, bulb photography and movie photography is not
possible.
When [ ] forced flash or [ ] red-eye forced flash modes are set in the [ ] mode, the shutter speed is
limited to between 1/2 second and 1/250 second.
If a mode other than the [ ] suppressed flash mode is set when the shutter speed is set to 1/350 sec. or
slower, the shutter speed is automatically changed to 1/250 sec.
If the [ ] forced flash or [ ] red-eye forced flash modes are set when the shutter speed is set to a speed of
1 sec. or more, the shutter speed is automatically changed to 1/2 second.
