Shooting techniques
Making the best of the flash gives you various
options.
When you set the flash mode to (Forced
flash), you can shoot a back-lit subject brightly.
An effect in which the flash light reflects in the
subject’s eye is also available.
When the flash mode is set to Auto, the flash
may strobe regardless of your intentions. In
such situations, setting the flash mode to
(No flash) slows the shutter speed
automatically. This is effective when you shoot
the trail of a car, the spectrum of a light, or the
sunset. We recommend you use a tripod to
prevent camera shake.
The (Slow synchro) is effective when you
shoot a person during a sunset and the like.
You can shoot the person clearly using the
flash light and the background using a long
exposure. If the camera cannot shoot clearly
using the slow shutter, it automatically
increases the ISO number. We recommend you
use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
