TAKING PICTURES AT SLOW SHUTTER SPEED
Slow Shutter
Speed (Flash-
OFF)
Depress the
mode button
until the ( □ ®)
symbol appears on the LCD panel. In this
mode, the flash does not discharge, and a
picture is taken at a slow shutter speed up to
approx. 1/5 second. Use it in places where
using flash is prohibited, such as in theaters,
museums, etc. Furthermore, this mode is
also useful for soft-lighted pictures with a
natural atmosphere.
Slow-Speed-
Synchro-
Shooting
(Flash-On)
Depress the
mode button to
set a slow-speed-sync mode until the {Q ^)
symbol appears on the LCD panel. It is pos¬
sible to take a picture of subjects and back¬
ground in a balanced way, as shown in the
photo, by using the built-in flash to properly
expose the foreground subject and a slow-
shutter-speed to expose the low light back¬
ground.
Notes:
• When shooting in darkness, the shutter
speed gets slower, and camera shake is
more likely to blur your picture, so use a
tripod.
