* Normally, the sync speed is set automatically within 1/250 sec. to 30 sec. to suit
the ambient brightness.
In low light, the main subject is exposed with the
automatic flash, and the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set
automatically. Both the subject and background look properly exposed
(automatic slow-speed flash sync). With slow shutter speeds, using a tripod is
recommended.
