between

 to

/

60

s with Auto FP High-

Speed Sync; 

Red-eye 

reduction

If flash unit supports red-eye reduction, choose this 
mode to reduce “red-eye” effect sometimes caused by 
flash. Not recommended with moving subjects or in 
other situations in which quick shutter response is 
required. Do not move camera during shooting.

Red-eye 

reduction with 

slow sync

Combines red-eye reduction with slow sync. Use for 
portraits taken against a backdrop of night scenery. 
This mode is only available in programmed auto and 
aperture-priority auto exposure modes. Use of tripod 
is recommended to prevent blurring caused by camera 
shake.

Slow sync

Flash is combined with shutter speeds as slow as 30 s 
to capture both subject and background at night or 
under dim light. This mode is only available in 
programmed auto and aperture-priority auto 
exposure modes. Use of tripod is recommended to 
prevent blurring caused by camera shake.

Rear-curtain 

sync

In shutter-priority auto or manual exposure mode, 
flash fires just before the shutter closes. Use to create 
effect of a stream of light behind moving objects. In 
programmed auto and aperture-priority auto, slow 
rear-curtain sync is used to capture both subject and 
background. Use of tripod is recommended to prevent 
blurring caused by camera shake.

Flash off

Flash does not fire.
