Option Description
Flash mode
Standard flash (default setting):
The flash unit (Speedlight) fires regardless of how bright the
subject is.
Slow sync:
The flash unit illuminates the main subject and at the same time
slow shutter speeds are used to capture the background.
Rear-curtain sync:
The flash unit fires forcibly just before the shutter closes.
Red-eye reduction:
Best choice for portraits. If the camera detects “red-eye” when a
picture is taken, it reduces the red-eye effect before recording the
image (A58).
Flash control mode

Fill flash fires with the amount of light emitted by all flash units
(Speedlights) automatically adjusted according to the shooting
conditions.
• The compensation value is from -3.0 EV to +3.0 EV.

Fill flash fires after adjusting the amount of light emitted by all
flash units.
