Flash mode
Slow synchronization + Red-eye reduction flash SLOW
This mode is for when you want to use slow synchronization, yet also reduce the red-
eye phenomenon. For instance, when shooting a person against a brightly lit night
background. A normal flash might make the persons eyes red, but this mode lets you
capture the background correctly and reduce the red-eye phenomenon at the same
time. 2nd curtain flash with red-eye reduction is not available.
Fill-in flash
The flash fires regardless of the light conditions.
This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on
the subjects face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting
the color shift produced by artificial lighting
(especially fluorescent light).
Note
When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When shooting a subject
against a bright background with the flash, the background may be overexposed. In this
case, set the flash (FL-50) to the Super FP flash mode.
Fill-in flash + Red-eye reduction flash
This mode makes it possible to fire the flash regardless of the light conditions and also
to reduce red-eye phenomenon.
Fill-in flash + Slow synchronization (2nd curtain) 2nd-CURTAIN
The flash fires regardless of the light conditions at the timing of the 2nd curtain when
shooting at a slow shutter speed.
Flash modes available in the exposure mode
* When the flash is set to the Super FP mode, it detects backlight before emitting light.
