In this mode, the flash does not discharge,
and a picture is taken at a slow shutter speed
up to approx. 2 seconds. Use it in places
where the flash photography is prohibited,
such as in theaters and museums.
Furthermore, this mode is also useful for a
natural existing light effect in low ambient
photography.
With Slow-Speed-Sync
It is possible to photograph subjects and
background in a balanced way (as shown in
the photo) by using the built-in flash to
properly expose the foreground subject and a
slow-speed to expose the low light back¬
ground.
Notes:
• When shooting in low light, the shutter
speed gets slower, and camera shake is
likely to blur your picture. Use of a tripod
is recommended.
• Make sure you are within the flash- effec¬
tive range even when you use the built-in
flash as a fill-in flash in daylight. See page
