Using the Built-in Flash

• Any desired shutter speed of 1/180 sec. or slower can be set for taking

a flash photograph.

• The shutter speed is locked at 1/180 sec. when a lens other than a DA,

DA L, D FA, FA J, FA, F or A lens is used.

• The shutter speed shifts automatically anywhere from 1/180 sec.

to a slow shutter speed that reduces camera shake. The slowest

shutter speed depends on the focal length of the lens in use.

• The shutter speed is locked at 1/180 sec. when a lens other than

a DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, FA or F lens is used.

You can use slow-speed-sync in b (Shutter Priority Automatic Exposure)

mode when shooting portraits with the sunset in the background. Both

the portrait and the background are captured beautifully.

Using the Slow-speed Sync

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