RED-EYE REDUCTION FLASH (Red-eye)
When taking a picture with a flash, sometimes the person’s eyes reflects the
flash light and the "red-eye" phenomenon will appear in the picture. In order
to avoid this effect, the light flashes for about one second before the picture
is taken to reduce the effect of red-eye.
 Depending on the lighting and subject conditions, the Red-eye Reduction
flash may not completely eliminate the red-eye in all cases.
REAR CURTAIN SYNCHRONIZATION (Rear Curtain Sync.)
When you use rear curtain synchronization, the flash will fire just before the rear
curtain begins to close and the subject will be exposed to ambient light from
the time the shutter opens until the flash fires. As a result traces of the subject
will be recorded behind the subject. This gives a more natural effect.
SLOW SYNCHRO MODE (Slow Sync.)
When using the flash with P/A mode, the shutter speed value, which will
reduce camera shake, is set automatically. The slow synchro mode
changes the shutter speed by up to 30 seconds depending on the lighting
conditions. This mode is suitable for shooting portraits and nightscapes.
