Slow Sync
This mode is useful when shooting night scenes.
When you use slow sync in a dark environment, the flash fires at the start of the
exposure, and the shutter then continues to remain open for an extended interval that
may last as long as 1/2 second. Since the shutter does not close fast enough to freeze
the image, you should use a tripod to hold the camera steady. Moving subjects will be
blurred.
Note that the flash will not fire if there is sufficient ambient light.
HELP
• If ambient light is low, the green lamp may begin to blink rapidly when you half-press
the shutter button. This informs you that the image may be blurred unless you use a
tripod.
Red-Eye Reduction + Slow Sync
This combination mode is useful when taking pictures of people at night.
HELP
• If ambient light is low, the green lamp may
begin to blink rapidly when you half-press the
shutter button. This informs you that the image
may be blurred unless you use a tripod.
This flash mode applies both red-eye reduction and slow sync (see explanations
above). Again, you should use a tripod, and keep in mind that moving subjects will be
blurred.
