Using the Built-in Flash
• When taking a moving subject, you can use the flash to change the blur
effect.
• The aperture value automatically changes according to the ambient
brightness.
• You can set the desired aperture value to take a flash photograph when
you want to change the depth of field or shoot a subject farther away.
• The shutter speed automatically changes with the ambient brightness.
You can use Slow-speed Sync in . (Night Scene Portrait) of H (Scene)
mode or b (Shutter Priority Automatic Exposure) mode when shooting
portraits with the sunset in the background. Both the portrait and the
background are captured beautifully. G and H can be used in e
(Program Automatic Exposure) or c (Aperture Priority Automatic
Exposure) mode.

Using the Slow-speed Sync
• Slow-speed Sync slows down the shutter speed. Use the Shake Reduction
function or turn off the Shake Reduction function and use a tripod to avoid
camera shake. The picture will also blur if the subject moves.
• Slow-speed Sync can also be performed with an external flash.
