/

and

Red-eye

reduction

If flash unit supports red-eye reduction, choose this mode
to reduce “red-eye” effect sometimes caused by flash. Not
recommended with moving subjects or in other situations
in which quick shutter response is required. Do not move
camera during shooting.

Red-eye

reduction

with slow

sync

Combines red-eye reduction with slow sync. Use for
portraits taken against a backdrop of night scenery. This
mode is only available in programmed auto and aperture-
priority auto exposure modes. Use of tripod is
recommended to prevent blurring caused by camera
shake.

Slow sync

Flash is combined with shutter speeds as slow as 30 s to
capture both subject and background at night or under
dim light. This mode is only available in programmed auto
and aperture-priority auto exposure modes. Use of tripod
is recommended to prevent blurring caused by camera
shake.

Rear-curtain

sync

In shutter-priority auto or manual exposure mode, flash
fires just before the shutter closes. Use to create effect of a
stream of light behind moving objects. In programmed
auto and aperture-priority auto, slow rear-curtain sync is
used to capture both subject and background. Use of
tripod is recommended to prevent blurring caused by
camera shake.

Flash off

Flash does not fire.
