Using the Built-in Flash

• When taking a moving subject, you can use the flash to change the blur

effect.

• The aperture value automatically changes according to the ambient

brightness.

• You can set the desired aperture value to take a flash photograph when

you want to change the depth of field or shoot a subject farther away.

• The shutter speed automatically changes with the ambient brightness.

You can use Slow-speed Sync in . (Night Scene Portrait) of H (Scene)

mode or b (Shutter Priority) mode when shooting portraits with the sunset

in the background. Both the portrait and the background are captured

beautifully. G and H can be used in e (Program) or c (Aperture

Priority) mode.

Using the Slow-speed Sync

• Slow-speed Sync slows down 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.

• Slow-speed Sync can also be performed with an external flash.
