Pentax Zoom 280-P - Taking Pictures at Slow Shutter Speeds

TAKING PICTURES AT SLOW SHUTTER SPEED
Slow Shutter
Speed (Flash-
OFF)
Depress the
mode button
until the (O®)
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
flash photography is prohibited, such as in
theaters and museums. Furthermore, this
mode is also useful for a natural existing light
effect in photography.
Note:
• When shooting in darkness, the shutter
speed gets slower, and camera shake is
likely to blur your picture. Use of a tripod is
recommended.
Slow-Speed-
Synchro
Shooting
(Flash-ON)
Depress the red¬
eye reduction
flash mode button in the slow-shutter-speed
mode to set a slow-speed-sync mode until
the (Q ir) symbol appears on the LCD panel.
It is possible to photograph subjects and
background in a balanced way (as shown in
the photo) by using the built-in flash to prop¬
erly expose the foreground subject and a
slow-shutter-speed to expose the low light
background.
