SLOW-SPEED-SYNC SHOOTING
Purpose
It is possible to balance the exposure of a fore-
ground subject against a dimly-lit background by
using the flash to properly expose the foreground
subject and a slow-shutter-speed to expose the
low light background.
How to set
With the Night-scene Program Mode set
1. Set the mode dial to [ ].
2. Set the lens aperture ring to [
A
].
3. The built-in flash pops up automatically.
4. Before shooting, confirm that the flash is
fully charged.
• In this mode, the shutter speed automatically
changes with ambient brightness. The shutter
speed changes in the range from 1/100 sec. to 1
second
• When the flash does not pop-up in the step 3,
push the flash pop-up button to activate the
flash.
How to set
With the Metered Manual Mode set
1. Depress the flash pop-up button to activate
the built-in flash.
2. Set the camera’s exposure mode to the
Metered Manual Mode.
3. Select an appropriate shutter speed (slower
than 1/100 of second) and aperture combi-
nation for a correct exposure.
4. Before shooting, confirm that the flash is
fully charged.
Note
• The slow-speed-sync can also be used with the
Shutter-Priority AE Mode set. Confirm that the
exposure warning (Blinking aperture setting) is
not appearing in the viewfinder.
• In the slow-shutter-sync shooting, use of a tripod
is recommended to prevent camera shake.
