Slow Synchro
Fires to illuminate the main subject (such as people) while shooting at a
slower shutter speed to illuminate backgrounds out of ash range.
● In [ ] mode, mount the camera on a tripod or take other
measures to keep it still and prevent camera shake. Additionally,
you should turn off image stabilization when using a tripod or
other means to secure the camera (
=

● In [
] mode, even after the ash res, ensure that the main
subject does not move until the shutter sound is nished playing.

You can change the ash mode to match the shooting scene. For details

1
Raise the ash.
● Move the [ ] switch.
2
Congure the setting.
● Press the [ ] button, press the [ ][ ]
buttons or turn the [ ] dial to choose
a ash mode, and then press the [ ]
button.
● The option you congured is now
displayed.
● The setting screen cannot be accessed by pressing the [ ] button
when the ash is lowered. Move the [
] switch to raise the ash
and then congure the setting.
● If the ash res, vignetting may occur. If the ash res, vignetting
may occur depending on the lens being used.
● When there is a risk of overexposure, the camera automatically
adjusts the shutter speed or ISO speed during the ash shots
to reduce washed-out highlights and shoot at optimal exposure.
For this reason, when shooting with the ash, the shutter speed
or ISO speed displayed when you pressed the shutter button
halfway, may not match the actual shoot setting.
● This can also be congured by going to the menu (
=
32),
choosing the [
3] tab, and selecting [Flash ring] in the [Flash
Control] option.
