Slow Synchro Shutter Shooting
This technique allows you to sync the Flash with the Slow Shutter Shooting. In
most cases, if the flash is used in a very dark setting the background turns out dark,
but when using the Forced Flash settings the exposure time lengthens (Slow
Synchro Shutter Shooting) and brightens the background. The use of a tripod is
recommended to prevent blurring.

USING THE SELF TIMER
Use the self-timer when you are recording an image of yourself or a group
that includes you. Also, this feature will eliminate blurring.

HINT
Short Self Timer
Shots taken at night, at sunset or in MACRO mode can easily become blurred. The
shot often becomes blurred when the camera moves (because the shutter is open)
while the shutter button is pressed down. When using the Short Self Timer the
shutter is set to release 2 seconds after the button has been pressed, helping you to
take photos that are not blurred. The light will flash quickly for 2 seconds before the
shutter goes off.
Note:
If you want to stop the process after pressing the shutter button in self timer mode,
just press the MACRO button. EPSON recommends using a tripod or placing
the camera on a flat horizontal surface when using this mode.
Automatic Flash (default
setting)
The flash will automatically go off in a dark
setting. In a well lit setting, the flash will not
go off. This can be used for most settings.
No Flash Turns off the flash even in dark scenes. Use
it for night scenes or wherever you are
prohibited from using a flash. Please note
that these shots may become blurred due
to very slow shutter speed. ’No Flash’ is the
automatic setting in CONTINUOUS or
VIDEO CLIP mode.
Auto red-eye reduction Use this setting when recording with a flash
at night or indoors. The flash will go off
once and will go off again when the
picture is taken. This will help to reduce
red-eye phenomenon.
Forced Flash The flash will go off at any time no matter
the brightness. Use it when the
background is bright or when you are
shooting against the sun. When used in
dark settings, the length of exposure
becomes longer, changing into Slow
Synchro Shutter Shooting. Please note that
these shots may become blurred.
