Manual Flash Amount

flash mode (page 24). Flash output is expressed as a frac-
tion of full power (all values are approximate):

Flash level is displayed in the
picture display in manual flash
mode.
Note
Flash exposure compensation is not available in manual flash
mode.
Cautions
• In manual mode, flash level is not automatically adjusted accord-
ing to lighting conditions.
• Do not direct the flash at a person operating a motor vehicle or
use the flash close to the subject’s eyes. Particular care should be
observed when photographing infants.
Flash Synchro Settings
Choose how the flash synchronizes with the shutter.
• 1st Curtain: The flash fires at the beginning of the expo-
sure. Recommended in most situations.
• 2nd Curtain: The flash fires at the end of the exposure.
This option produces trails of light behind moving light
sources.
