Characteristics
AUTO flash
Speedlight automatically fires when the subject is dark
and the built-in Speedlight is released. Speedlight does
not fire if the subject is adequately illuminated even
when the built-in Speedlight is released.
AUTO flash with 
¤⁄
Reduces the “Red-eye effect” of flash photography.
Red-eye reduction
The Red-eye reduction lamp lights before the main flash.
Anytime flash
Select this mode to fire the Speedlight regardless of the
subject’s brightness. Speedlight can also be effective in
daylight when light is coming from behind the subject.
SLOW sync
Both your main subject and background can be recorded
naturally in twilight or nighttime. The shutter stays open
for the same time as if Speedlight was not being used to
illuminate the background. The Speedlight fires to give a
clear defined foreground or subject image.
Notes: SLOW Sync Flash
• Avoid camera shake since a slow shutter speed is often selected.
• The shutter speed indication in the Monitor appears in yellow when the shutter
speed is slower than 1/4 sec. Noise may appear in the dark part of the frame
in this case. This noise in the form randomly spaced bright-colored pixels can
be reduced with the Noise Reduction setting (p. 117).
Check points
• In 
mode, AUTO flash mode is automatically selected when the built-in
Speedlight is released. The previously set Flash mode is selected in 
mode.
• Vignetting may occur with speedlight illumination where the subject to camera
distance is less than 70 cm (27.6 in.).
• The Flash output of other Speedlights connected to the sync terminal is
synchronized with the built-in Speedlight (p. 90).
In 
mode, the selected Flash mode can be set to remain in the
memory even when the power is turned off; this setting can be
changed with the Memorize setting.
