Canon 3000 V - Manual (Page 43)

Using the Built-in Flash
In a Basic Zone Mode
In low-light or backlit conditions, the built-in flash will pop up and fire
automatically (except in <Sa> <^> <CS> modes).
In a Creative Zone Mode
Press the <4> button to pop up the built-in flash.
P : Use this mode tor automatic flash photography. The flash
sync speed (1/90 sec.) and aperture value will be set
automatically as with the <D> (Full Auto) mode.
Tv : Use this mode if you want to set the flash sync speed
manually (within 30 sec. -1/90 sec.). The camera will set
the flash aperture value automatically to obtain a correct
flash exposure.
Av : Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture value.
The camera will set the flash sync speed (within 30 sec. -
1/90 sec.) automatically to obtain the best exposure for the
aperture you set. For portraits with a night scene or dark
background, a slow sync speed will be set to obtain a
proper exposure for both the subject and background. The
flash illuminates the subject, while the background is
properly exposed with a slow shutter speed.
• Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow
shutter speed, always use a tripod.
M : You can manually set both the flash sync speed (within
Bulb -1/90 sec.) and aperture value. The subject is properly
exposed with the flash and the background is exposed with
the flash sync speed and aperture value you have set.
A-DEP : The result will be the same as using the <P> mode.
