(3) Taking photographs with automatic flash activation and slower shutter speeds
S
(can only be selected using “2nd setting level”, see “Selectable modes”, p. 89)
To minimize the risk of blurring, the exposure time is not extended beyond
1
/
60
s in the modes with flash activation. For pictures where
the flash is used, this means that objects in the background, which the flash cannot reach, are often badly underexposed.
To take appropriate account of the available ambient light, longer exposure times are necessary in these exposure situations. In this
mode, the ambient light controls the shutter speeds, even as far as long time exposure B where necessary (see the section “The au-
tomatically self-activating B function”, p. 107).
Note: With low light, i.e. slower shutter speeds than
1
/
60
s, the camera should be held steady, supported, or a tripod used. Even after
the flash, the camera should only be moved when the film has been advanced.
