Flash Modes
The camera supports the following flash modes:
Flash mode Description
Front-
curtain sync
This mode is recommended for most situations.
In
programmed auto and aperture-priority auto modes,
shutter speed will automatically be set to values between
1
/250 and
1
/60 s (
1
/8000 to
1
/60 s with Auto FP High-Speed
Sync; 0 305).
Red-eye
reduction
If flash unit supports red-eye reduction, choose this mode
to reduce “red-eye” effect sometimes caused by flash. Not
recommended with moving subjects or in other situations
in which quick shutter response is required. Do not move
camera during shooting.
Red-eye
reduction
with slow
sync
Combines red-eye reduction with slow sync. Use for
portraits taken against a backdrop of night scenery. This
mode is only available in programmed auto and aperture-
priority auto exposure modes. Use of tripod is
recommended to prevent blurring caused by camera
shake.
Slow sync
Flash is combined with shutter speeds as slow as 30 s to
capture both subject and background at night or under
dim light.
This mode is only available in programmed auto
and aperture-priority auto exposure modes. Use of tripod
is recommended to prevent blurring caused by camera
shake.
Rear-curtain
sync
In shutter-priority auto or manual exposure mode, flash
fires just before the shutter closes.
Use to create effect of a
stream of light behind moving objects. In programmed
auto and aperture-priority auto, slow rear-curtain sync is
used to capture both subject and background.
Use of
tripod is recommended to prevent blurring caused by
camera shake.
Flash off
Flash does not fire.
