Canon EOS 3000 N - Manual (Page 60)

Using the Built-in Flash
In a Basic Zone Mode
If the <^> icon blinks, pop up the built-in flash. The built-in flash will fire
automatically in low-light or backlit conditions.
In a Creative Zone Mode
In a Creative Zone mode, you can use the built-in flash at anytime
regardless of the existing light level. Just pull up the built-in flash head
before taking the picture.
P : Use this mode for automatic flash photography. The flash sync
speed and flash aperture will be set automatically as with the <0>
(Full Auto) mode.
Tv : Use this mode if you want to set a flash sync speed slower than 1/90
sec. The camera will set the flash aperture automatically to obtain a
correct flash exposure.
Av ; Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture. In this mode,
you can obtain a balanced exposure between the subject and a dark
background (night scene, etc.) with a slow sync speed set
automatically by the camera. The flash illuminates the subject while
the background is exposed with a long shutter speed.
• Be sure to use a tripod when a slow sync speed is set.
fVI ; This mode enables you to set both the flash sync speed and flash
aperture. The subject is properly exposed with the flash and the
background is exposed with the flash sync speed and aperture you
have set.
A-DEP; The result will be the same as using the <P> mode.
