1st curtain
Usually, the flash fires right after the shutter fully opens. This is called 1st curtain. This 
method is usually used during flash shooting.
Slow synchronization (2nd curtain)
#SLOW2/2nd CURTAIN
2nd curtain flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can create 
interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the 
tail-lights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out. 
In S/M mode, the flash always fires.
When the shutter speed is set to 2 sec.
Slow synchronization (1st curtain)/Red-eye reduction flash
!SLOW
While using slow synchronization with flash shooting, you can also use this function to 
achieve red-eye reduction. When shooting a subject against a night scene, this function 
allows you to reduce the red-eye phenomenon. As the time from emitting pre-flashes to 
shooting is long in 2nd curtain synchronization, it is difficult to achieve red-eye reduction. 
Hence, only 1st curtain synchronization setting is available.
Fill-in flash
#
The flash fires regardless of the light conditions. 
This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on 
the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree 
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting 
the color shift produced by artificial lighting 
(especially fluorescent light).

Notes
• When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When shooting a subject 
against a bright background with the fill-in flash, the background may be overexposed. In this 
case, use the optional FL-50R external flash or a similar flash and shoot in the Super FP flash 
mode.
