Changing the Flash Mode
Select Flash mode from the Quick settings display to adjust the setting (A 48).
Change the flash output depending upon shooting conditions. The flash modes available
depend upon the mode currently selected with the mode dial.
* M is displayed after command dial is released.
Flash modes are described below.
• K (auto flash): When lighting is poor or subject is backlit, flash pops up
automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway and fires as required.
• L (red-eye reduction): Use for portraits. AF-assist lamp lights before flash fires,
reducing “red-eye.”
• M (slow sync): Shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting
at night or under low light. Use to include background lighting in portraits.
• N (rear curtain sync): Flash fires just before shutter closes, creating the effect of a
stream of light behind moving subjects. If this icon is not displayed, flash will fire
immediately after shutter opens.
