Flash shooting
Flash mode
The camera sets the flash mode according to various factors such as firing
pattern and flash timing. Available flash modes depend on the exposure
mode. The flash modes are available to optional external flashes.
When the mode dial is set to anything except P, A, S, or M, the built-in flash
will pop up automatically in low light conditions.

Auto-flash AUTO
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
To shoot a subject with backlighting, position the AF frame over the subject.

Red-eye reduction flash !
In the red-eye reduction flash mode,
a series of pre-flashes are emitted
just before the regular flash fires.
This helps accustom the subject’s
eyes to the bright light and minimizes
the red-eye phenomenon.

Slow synchronization/Slow synchronization+
Red-eye reduction flash #SLOW/!SLOW
The slow synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally,
when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to
prevent camera movement. But when shooting a subject against a night scene,
fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark. Slow synchronization
allows you to capture both the background and the subject. You can also set red-
eye reduction flash at the same time. Since the shutter speed is slow, be sure to
stabilize the camera by using a tripod so as not to cause the picture to be blurred.

Notes
• After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released. Hold
the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.
• Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at pre-flashes, or if
the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit
effectiveness.
The subject’s eyes appear red.
