Slow synchronization (1st curtain) / Red-eye reduction flash
!
SLOW
While using slow synchronization with flash shooting, you can also use this function to achieve
red-eye reduction. When shooting a subject against a night scene, this function allows you to
reduce the red-eye phenomenon. As the time from emitting pre-flashes to shooting is long in 2nd
curtain synchronization, it is difficult to achieve red-eye reduction. Hence, only 1st curtain
synchronization setting is available.
Fill-in flash
#
The flash fires regardless of the light conditions. This
mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the
subject’s face (such as shadows from tree leaves), in
a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift
produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent
light).
Flash off
$
The flash does not fire.
Manual flash
This allows the built-in flash to output a fixed amount of light. To shoot with manual flash, set the
f value on the lens based on the distance to the subject.

Notes
•
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 fill-in flash, the background may be overexposed. In
this case, use the optional FL-50 or FL-36 external flash and shoot in the Super FP flash
mode.
