CAUTION !!
•
When P and A modes are showing the shutter speed as 1/200sec., the actual
shutter speed value is 1/180sec. In the case of S and M modes, please select
1/200sec., if you wish to set the shutter speed to 1/180sec.
FLASH FUNCTION SETTINGS
The built-in flash has several functions besides normal flash.
FLASH MODE
It is possible to select Normal Flash, Red-eye reduction Flash or Wireless
TTL Flash Mode.
It is possible to select the Flash Mode from the Quick Set Menu (P.37) or the
Function Display (P.35).
(Default)
NORMAL FLASH
When you pop-up the built-in flash, you can use your camera in this
mode.
z Please use this mode for ordinary photography.
RED-EYE REDUCTION FLASH
When you take a picture with flash, sometimes the person’s eyes
reflect the flashlight and the “redeye” phenomenon will appear in the
picture. In order to avoid this effect, the red-eye reduction lamp lights
for approx.1sec before the main flash fires, this reduces the effect of
the “redeye” phenomenon in the picture.
z Depending on the lighting and subject conditions, the Redeye
Reduction flash may not completely eliminate the redeye in all cases.
z When using the optional external flash SIGMA EF DG SUPER
series, please set the red-eye reduction on the external flash unit. (It
is not possible to use the red-eye reduction flash when the external
flash SIGMA EF DG ST series is attached to the camera body.)
C1～C3
WIRELESS TTL FLASH MODE
It is possible to take pictures with Wireless TTL Flash Mode, if you use
the optional external flash SIGMA EF DG SUPER series (only this
Flash Type is compatible with wireless flash photography). Please
refer to the Instruction Manual of the DG SUPER SA-STTL for more
details.
