Flash Modes
The flash modes listed on the previous page may combine one or more
of the following settings, as shown by the flash mode icon:
• AUTO (auto flash): When lighting is poor or subject is backlit, flash pops
up automatically when shutter-release button is pressed halfway and
fires as required.
• Y (red-eye reduction): Use for portraits. Red-eye reduction lamp lights
before flash fires, reducing “red-eye.”
•
s
(off)
: Flash does not fire even when lighting is poor or subject is backlit.
• SLOW (slow sync): Shutter speed slows automatically to capture back-
ground lighting at night or under low light. Use to include back-
ground lighting in portraits.
• REAR (rear-curtain sync): Flash fires just before shutter closes, creating a
stream of light behind moving light sources (below at right). If this
icon is not displayed, flash will fire as the shutter opens (front-curtain
sync; the effect this produces with moving light sources is shown
below at left).
