Flash Sync Mode
Flash Sync mode lets you modify how and when the flash fires during exposure.
Slow Sync
Making a Dark Background More Visible
Without Slow Sync, the automatically controlled shutter speed is controlled between
1/250 second and 1/60 second. When flash pictures are taken with this rather narrow
shutter speed range in dim light, the subject appears bright and well exposed, but the
background may appear very dark, almost black. Setting Slow Sync extends the automatic
controlled shutter speed range down to 30 seconds, enabling background details to stand
out.
Press and hold the Flash Sync Mode
button and rotate the Main-
Command Dial to select the desired
flash sync mode.
☛ If you are using a non-NIKON
flash unit and select Normal
Sync mode, the icon
disappears from the Back
Status LCD panel after you
release the Flash Sync Mode
button.
The flash sync mode changes as in
the sequence shown at the left.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid image blur, attach the camera to a tripod.
