Flash shooting
Slow synchronization (2nd curtain)
#
SLOW2/2nd CURTAIN
2nd curtain flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can create
interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the
tail-lights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out.
In

Slow synchronization (1st curtain)/Red-eye reduction flash
!
SLOW
While using slow synchronization with flash shooting, you can also use this function to achieve
red-eye reduction. When shooting a subject against a night scene, this function allows you to
reduce the red-eye phenomenon. As the time from emitting pre-flashes to shooting is long in
2nd curtain synchronization, it is difficult to achieve red-eye reduction. Hence, only 1st curtain
synchronization setting is available.
Fill-in flash
#
The flash fires regardless of the light conditions.
This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the
subject’s face (such as shadows from tree leaves),
in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color
shift produced by artificial lighting (especially
fluorescent light).

Notes
When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When shooting a subject
against a bright background with the fill-in flash, the background may be overexposed. In this
case, use the optional FL-50R external flash or a similar flash and shoot in the Super FP flash
mode.
