*1 Shutter speed can be prolonged up to 30 sec. in Slow Sync, Rear-Curtain Sync or
Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync. In Auto FP High-Speed Sync, shutter speed is
controlled at up to 1/8000 sec.
*2 In Auto FP High-Speed Sync, shutter speed is controlled at up to 1/8000 sec.
*3 Flash shooting distance range depends on the ISO speed of the film in use and
aperture setting. In Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode, set the
aperture according to the flash shooting distance range table provided with the
Speedlight.
• The camera determines background exposure from the selected shutter speed so
over- or underexposure indication tends to appear more frequently in Shutter-
Priority Auto and Aperture-Priority Auto exposure modes. To bring out the
background exposure, set the shutter speed so the electronic analog display
indicates a correct exposure in Shutter-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode.
Select Slow Sync in Programmed Auto or Aperture-Priority exposure mode.
