Daylight-Sync Shooting
In daylight conditions, the flash will eliminate shadows when a portrait
picture is taken with a person’s face cast in shadow. Use of the flash
in this way is called Daylight-Sync Shooting. The b (Manual Flash
Discharge) mode is used when shooting with Daylight-Sync
Shooting.
Taking pictures
1 Pop up the built-in flash manually and confirm that the flash
mode is set to E. (p.70)
2 Confirm that the flash is fully charged.
3 Take a picture.
