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.
