The slow synchro mode is now set.
The flash mode setting is displayed on the LCD
monitor or on the LCD panel. When you press
the shutter release button, the subject is shot in
slow synchro mode with the flash activated.
The flash LED lights (red) as you press the
shutter release button lightly.
Note • The flash LED blinks and the LCD
monitor is cleared while the flash is
charging. Pictures cannot be taken in
this state.
Important
Note
• When you shoot a subject located closer than about 0.4 m (15.8 inches)
with the flash activated, the subject may appear white in the resultant shot
due to over-exposure. To avoid this problem, switch to flash off mode.
• The shutter speed slows automatically when you shoot in dark places. To
prevent camera shake, hold the camera steady or mount it on a tripod.
Take care to avoid camera shake particularly at
telephoto settings.
How To Cancel Slow Synchro Mode
Press the flash mode button and switch to another flash mode.
