<5. Night Portrait Fiash Mode> “ ”
When photographing people against sunsets or skylines, using
this mode wiii heip preserve the atmospheric background whiie
providing sufficient flash to illuminate the subject.
In addition to the red-eye-reduction flash mode, the shutter speed
is extended (to maximum 1 sec) to allow adequate exposure of the
background (Slow Synch Photography).
• Since the shutter speed is extended when using slow synch
photography, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent camera
shake.
Backlight Automatic Flash Photography
When using the Auto-flash mode, Red-Eye-Reduction Auto Flash
mode, or Night Portrait mode and the subject is in strong
backlight, the flash may fire automatically in order to provide well-
balanced illumination.
• When the fiash is activated, the “ ^ ” mark lights in the viewfinder
display.
If you frequently take flash photos over longer distances we
recommend ISO 400 film, as it allows a greater flash range.
