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 up to 30 second depending on light condition.
This mode is suitable for a portrait in a nightscape.
AF ASSIST LIGHT (AF Assist Light)
Normally, the AF Assist Light integrated in the Flash, lights up during
shootings with the flash. When the AF Assist Light prevents appropriate
shooting, selecting [Off] from [AF Assist Light] can set the AF Assist Light
to be turned off during shooting.
When the [AF Assist Light] setting is set to [Off], the AF Assist Light
integrated in the camera is activated. When neither assist light is used,
also set the [Built-in AF Assist Light] setting to [Off] (P. 5 9).
CAUTION!!
The Flash Mode can not be set if the flashgun is not attached to the
camera, or the flashgun is turned off.

Flash Exposure compensation can be set in 1/3 stop increments from
+3.0 to -3.0 stops.
